my new ride
 

found this one in the local classifieds for 250.00.
68, 396, th400. i had to rebuild the trans, cost 250.00
total into a running truck...500.00.

Re: my new ride
 

The burb or the PU? Either way its a kick a$$ deal! Good going bro.

Re: my new ride
 

some more pics, it has all the a/c stuff except for the compressor.
but i've got an extra in the garage..:)

Re: my new ride
 

the p/u.. i've had the burb for a few years now.

Re: my new ride
 

kinda looks like a 50th

Re: my new ride
 

nope its only my 4th....lol:)

Re: my new ride
 

4th 50th????HeeHaw!Not too shabby for any running truck.But,an a/c 396?woah!

Re: my new ride
 

runs good, had to rebuild the trans, drove it home about 40 miles
at about 35 mph. when i took the trans apart there was no clutch
material left on the disks for the final drive. the po. said that his kid
was doing neutral drops and wasted the trans. got it back together
and it drives nice.

Re: my new ride
 

wish i could find just a complete big block for that kind of money. sweet deal you got there

Re: my new ride
 

Great score for that kinda $$$$

Re: my new ride
 

That's a 50th annv truck... look at the gold dash pad.
I'll bet a kick in the nuts that if you look at the option sheet, you'll find 551 off white/gold ... and 627 parch Vynal (or cloth) trim

Re: my new ride
 

it doesnt have the option sheet, i was bummed out when i saw it wasnt there.
not a bad deal for 250.00.. the guy ran an ad for sale 500.00, when i went to
look at it, i played it cool and said i would get back to him on it. he then told
me that the local scrap yard said theyd give him 250.00 for it. he said if no
one bought it by that sunday he was going to scrap it. i then started to walk to
my truck and he said if i really wanted it he would let me have it for the 250.00
bucks. told him sold....:lol:
i couldnt walk away from that, could i:crazy:

Re: my new ride

Re: my new ride

Re: my new ride
 

the motor is worth that alone!!!!!! Nice score BTW

Re: my new ride
 

Nice job. I like the 50th anniversary ones. Clean it up, and let's see how it turns out. BTW, I would leave it that color if you repaint it.

Re: my new ride
 

thats what im thinking, that color looks pretty good. the only thing to change
is the bed, im going short fleet. im thinking gold and white and some torque
thrust wheels.. what ya think???;)

Re: my new ride
 

Sounds like a plan man! good score:metal:

Re: my new ride
 

Sounds like you stole it! Way to go.:D

Re: my new ride
 

gold and white with torque thrusts,..... sounds good to me. :D

Re: my new ride
 

I know those aren't torque thrusts...but it makes it easy to imagine.

Re: my new ride

thats what im looking for, the stance and style.
