Brought home my newest project, 69 Chevy SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

woodman13 · 08-06-2005, 06:10 PM

Well, here is my newest project truck. It is real close to being straight body wise, just needs some rear right bed side work. Cab corners look good and so do the rockers. The guy I got it from said he just could not get it started. It has a rebuilt 350, Dart heads 2.06/1.6, 11.5 to 1 pistons, H rods and forged crank, 750 holley DP, G Team intake, big solid cam, headers, flowmaster mufflers, dropped 4/6, disk brakes on front, T350 trans w/ 2000 stall, 3:73 posi 12 bolt, fuel cell in the bed, shaved door handles.

I don't know how true all the motor stuff is, it is hard to see all the inside stuff, but I will know when I get it running.

Looking to get it running maybe this weekend and start the body work next week/weekend.

Needs some rims and paint and I can start cruising it!!

woodman13 · 08-07-2005, 08:31 AM

Yeah the interior needs some work, it looks like the guy was color blind! I'll keep yall posted on the progress, will try to get it in the shop today and see why it won't run.

Maybe it just needs gas...lol or plugs!

jay-dawg · 08-07-2005, 11:37 PM

or a 'suicide knob' if you are old enough but I like 'brodie knob' better.

86swb · 08-11-2005, 12:17 AM

Good luck on your new project. Looks like "BARNEY" covered the seats.

MandarinSixSeven · 08-11-2005, 11:51 AM

I always called them suicide knobs...never heard of "brodie knob". I don't think they are legal up here.
