Looks good. What has it got for motorvation? What are the specs on the suspension?

I know that truck. I went and saw it in New Braunfels, TX. That is a sweet ride, beautifully done. Good for you.

My dad and i restored this truck about 7 yrs ago. It is my profile pic. We sold it to Barry , who you bought it from. I never could figure why he bought it. Im not sure if he thought he could flip it or what. He paid us $8500 for it, put the drop, wheels tires, radio radiator pb and was asking $10k! He didnt do all of the work to the truck contrary to what the ad said. In my dealings with him, i will be nice and say I have nothing good to say about him. Matter of fact, he plagiarized my ad and claimed to everyone he did all of the work. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Heres some photos from when we had it:

Been there/done that. I got to see mine in two magazines giving the new owner credit after he changed the grill and did some things to the LS6 (454) crate.

were you able to get that cool chrome grille guard when you purchased your truck? It was kinda neat as I recall.

It was a nice grill guard. If I remember correctly, I was talking to a friend named Mark Rendon from Fredericksburg while i was at the New Braunfels meet back in April and Barry had the truck for sale there. I am pretty sure Mark said he bought the grill guard. I also wondered about the wheels tires and hubcaps I had on it but forgot to ask.

I'm glad someone on here got the truck. It was for sale here for about a year, but mostly stock. I tried to tell Barry about the site, but he was pretty much a "know it all". I do have to give him credit for putting the aftermarket gauges in the stock cluster. I don't know what is up with that, as all the gauges worked when I sold it. Same goes for the universal fit aftermarket aluminum radiator. I guess he was reliving his teenage years!

No up dates to report, did find me a grill guard and powder coated it black also found a support bracket for the air cleaner. The truck has been trouble free and I drive it on the weekends.

I regret having to sell it but we needed the $$$ to do a 72 chevy swb stepside. The mileage on the odometer is original to the best of my knowledge. We never did swap the reans fear to get the speedo right after the rear gear change to 3.08.

Just checking in to see how my old truck is doing.
