The blue is a current code for GM vehicles..........Don't know the specific number at the moment(Two stage from S-W), but I can find it should anyone want it.
I also thought about going to steel, but I think once I polish these aluminum rims I'll keep them...........They look better now then they did on the white truck.
Truck was originally powered by a 350, but had a 454 smog motor when I bought it. It was stock other than a Edelbrock Carb and didn't impress me. Considering that this truck will be run on short runs on the farm, and I wanted longevity, I reverted back to our old friend.............The inliner
Took a nice 250 we had that was in great shape and added a 500 CFM Edelbrock 4 brl, Clifford intake and headers, and built a PS bracket for it. So far I am tickled with it...........I got some underhood shots, but I had to build a new mount to run the 14" stock GM air cleaner housing, and I don't have that piece painted yet............Here is the only good one at the moment. It is dusty in the picture, but you get the idea.
