1965 Suburban project
Hi everyone,
I just bought my first truck not too long ago. Im 16 and rebuilding this truck in shop class at school. Take a look tell me what you think! it has a small block 307 out of a 72 c10 and turbo350 trans. Just put new manifold/carb/fuel pump/headers.

Re: 1965 Suburban project
Hell yeah that's a good deal for a support. I just sold one for $100 last month. Aaahh....open headers....doesn't that sound just make you grin uncontrolably?
