Cruised over from 73-87 board...
...to show you guys the truck I just bought for my 14 year old. Its a factory 396 truck. I plan to steal the motor & trans from it. I have an '84 GMC that I am fixing up & the '69 will be getting a small block for the beginer-driver. Pretty darn good shape for $350...Ill be watching this board a lot closer now & we will keep you guys & gals updated...corn

I covet those 6 bolt slot mags! Nice project truck....
|
You lucky guy....I'd really like to have those 6 lug slots.....
|
Forgot this...Today we cleaned up the interior & installed a tach & a set of gauges & a grant wheel that he bought yesterday. I got the engine running (not good though) & made a quick cruise around town.
|
Nice project :cool:
|
Looks to be in very nice shape. Should be fun!! :cool:
|
Wow, a 69 big block CST with leaf springs and buckets. That sounds like a good restoration cantidate to me.
Restore or rod, it looks like a darn good starting point...esp for 350 bucks. Are all the A/C parts still there? Slots rock...and the mirrors that you already ditched looked pretty ugly on there. |
Very Nice Starting Point! Great Find!
|
Like the picture of him sitting in side.....reminds you of the days when too young to drive and sit there pretending....

Niice :D I've always loved these trucks too :D That thing looks to be in super good shape too! The interior looks awesome, exterior too. Give those mags a polishing, find a box for it, then give it a paint job, and you've got a sweet ride :D
Betcha thats a rough ride with no box eh? I drove mine like that for a couple of weeks, and jeese, gives a guy a good headache after an hour, lol |
That's cool. I always wished I had a Dad that would want to do something similar with me. Lucky kid. :D
|
Why dont I ever find deals like that. Nice find.
|
that has to be the deal of the year.
|
Those look to be factory bucket seats and a factory slider as well. That was definitely a smoking deal!
|
SCORE :metal:
|
Uhhhh if the cab is in any sort of shape and the 396 is factory # matching and on the build sheet.......Pretty rare truck.
No more then 4-5% had that motor that year. See the rare options post. |
Looks like someone fixed it up a little does it have an alum intake? I see the obvious mallory ign and holley carb and B&M Star shifter Kinda looks like it has an aluminum intake and it has allen bolts holding it down too.
|
Grim..that's what I was refering to on restoring it..a big block, cst, bucket seats, A/C, leaf springs...all low production options.
I can't judge it from the photos, is that a SWB or a LWB? How good was the repaint? (The lower trim is missing which was standard on a CST) |
