Kota And Tangarae
I'm new to the forum but I'm gonna start restoring my old pickups. I've had "Tangarae" for a few years now she's a 1971 cheyenne 1/2 ton lwb 402 dark olive green and white she's a daily driver now my other truck is a different story she isn't going anywhere soon. It's a 1972 Cheyenne super Lwb 3/4ton. She's in peices!! But for 200 I couldn't complain don't know what I'm gonna use to run her the p/o has a 350 for it for some extra $$$ but I don't have it haha. I'll get pics up in a while.

Re: Kota And Tangarae
Been a month since I've posted. I still dont have the motor in but its a 1970 350 that has never been ran. The car that it was in fell off the trailer on its way to the dealership. My uncle has had it in his garage and uprgraded the cam and made it hei. As for my 402 I blew a head gasket I've never seen so much smoke

Re: Kota And Tangarae
Well this post has nothing to do with my trucks or chevys so it'll probably turn some of you away but it has to do with fixing cars which is what i and most of you LOVE! The car is a 1963 ford galaxies with a 352. We bought the car knowing that it would only go in reverse so we are doin a tranny swap and keeping the original tranny in the trunk until we go through with gettin it rebuilt. I took a pic of all the fluid that spilt because i liked the mirror effect that it made. Enjoy! Oh and I still have not gotten it out (Ford's are such a pain!)

Re: Kota And Tangarae
I have a complete body bushing set I got for my 1971 1/2 ton and I am about to put my 72 3/4 ton back on the frame and I was wondering if I can just go ahead and use those bushing or if the bushing are different between 1/2 tons and 3/4 tons and help is appreciated!
