It has the original 327 with a hydro trans. I will post pics soon of what it looked like when I got it. Only work done so far was body was sanded and primed. No filler.

I have 3 out of four center caps that were on it. looking for the fourth on craigslist, or ebay, or? has the original split rims. tires look good but have too many flat spots. needs new tires and wheels.

Nice truck looks solid. is that white spot a fuel door? I cant tell from the pic but it looks like there is a lock in it. Maybe Im just imagining things as usual

I think it's a very nice lookin' truck!

Re: here is my truck
 
bucket, you are right. that is a fuel door. This one has 2 extra fuel tanks. there is one on each side with a door and lock. There is a lever inside the truck to switch to which tank you want to use. cool. huh

does anyone still use the split rims anymore? Can a radial tire be put on split rims? or do I have to use bias tires.

leddzepp 04-12-2011 12:22 PM

Re: here is my truck
 
Most tire shops will not touch a split rim nowadays.

Carlydude465, Is that a 50th? Looks like it could be. Can you check your SPID for 551 paint code and 625 or 626 parchment interior? Or is your steering wheel, dash pad, and visors gold color?

Nice looking truck man, The work so far looks good. That front end really cleaned up nice. Thanks for postin and :welcome2: to the forum.

Great Truck! Welcome from central Florida.
More Pics.

I might be wrong but I thought split rims outlawed by the USDOT back in the early 90s. I remember my Dad had to get a new set of duelly rims for his 69 C-30

In the first pic those are the same mirrors as my burb came with. do you know what the spid code or part # is for it

Yup its cool until you drop a paycheck at the pumps. I had dual tanks in my c30..was nice for road trips but with the 454 and a missing 4th gear I was screwed either way. I wound up taking one tank out and replacing it with an air tank when I bodydropped her. Good looking truck..now check your SPID

That's cool!!! Does it have parchment (white) interior? If so then it's a 50th anniversary edition. A 50th is a special edition from chevrolet to commemorate the 50th year of producing chevrolet trucks. (1918 first year of trucks) It was a widely advertised edition and many were ordered. Here's a pic of a original Ad.
