I've had her on the road twice now for a couple hundred miles with no mechanical issues. All I've done to the engine is clean out the field mouse nest that was on the intake and change the oil and all filters. I'm going to switch to HEI when the local yard comes across a stock GM distributor. As you can see by the pictures, I removed the stock rims and put a set of Alcoa wheels on it from my 83 dually. That made her look much better! I still haven't had time to try to buff out the paint, I think she'll really shine if I do that.
The odometer reads 75000 miles and I think it may be original miles. As for cruisin', we'll see about that. My real love is my 71 GMC "Longhorn". I traded a 1998 4x4 chevy pickup 3/4 ton for that one. Found her on Craig's list as well.
Well, headed to work, I'll try to take some "after cleanup" pictures today after work.
