Well I was depressed when I had to sell my Blazer because of money problems. Well the money problems are gone for good :P

I was needing a truck, just happened to come across this. It's kind of ugly, but it's 350/sm465 and only paid $536.41 total including fees for it. I am kind of giddy about having a chevy truck again. :P

Ugly? I see a diamond in the rough. I'd love to have truck like that.

Start a build thread or blog and get to work on that thing!
 
It's a 78, havn't decided what to do with it. first get all the lights working, needs a new column and then at least get body straight and stop the rust. Couldn't believe how nice it started and ran. You can't see the engine under all the grease. Needed something to run parts in for my 82 Camaro. I don't think I can fit it in my shop :P

It looks like someone at one time took care of it. Engine doesn't look original. I have taken a few more pictures you can see at link in signature.
 
Bought some rims and tires.

So I posted this to my blog because someone said I should post up build in Blog. Not sure how people find it :P Anyways here is second purchase for Truck. First was Negative Battery terminal (not very exciting). I found these on Craigslist for $125. 32 x 11.5 on 15's. Figure they will get me thru winter, and couldn't believe they have all the beauty rings and caps. :P I have always like the looks of the steel ralley's.
