The second pic you can notice my grille, that's what happens when a chain breaks and comes flying back into ya! /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
This thing started life as a C-10 truck 6cyl, My neghibor bought it and put in 350. It set and set and set after he bought his new dakota (cheaper milage).My other neghibor got it and again set for a while, then his son decieded to move and drove heck out of it till it fried! I've not heard too many 350's you could fry bacon on, but that one ya sure could. Then my dad got it and yup you guessed it .......set again, I got the 350 fixed (or so I thought) then I got it !! Drove her for a while and decieded I wanted a 4x4 but could'nt find one I could afford.............so I found the worst looking truck I could and bought it. Stripped the body and set mine on the frame /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif It took the wife and me (yes fella's I said wife she like's to work on vehicles too /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif) any who it took like 13 weekends to get this thing together and running.I just painted it my self this summer, My first paint job /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif got a few boo boo's in it but it looks alot better then the silver and rust that was covering it.
