This is the Project truck
I went to a swap meet before COVID hit real hard. I was able to find hood, fenders, radiator core support.
My objective is to remove the 350 with alum. intake , give it to my brother in law will use it for a rock crawler. Im assuming it has a saginaw 3 or 4 spd. that goes into the garage.
glove box says it has a POSI in the rear, I havent cracked the rear cover to do the math and figure out the gear ratio.
My wife broke her hip and I as well as her are not liking the new cars with the raised seats a side cushions. I am more into the bench seat design. This will end up being her Truck, when im done. I showed her pictures of trucks and this is one that is closest to what she wants. Not realizing its a 1968 c10 in the picture.
So now i have a choice swap front end clip from stock 69 to stock 68.
She wants a Darker blue. So im looking at GM paint pallets for her to choose from.
My punch list
1. put EFI 383 stroker with TH400 Auto
2. Change front clip to 68
3. Paint truck two tone Blue and white
4 Put Chrome bumpers front and rear
5. Remove fuel tank from behind seat.
6. Install fuel tank into bed behind rear axle like 87 blazer has.
7. run fuel cap up to bedside or inner fender for her to fuel truck.
