last night about 9:00 I decided to take it out of the garage to go to the bank just for my neighbor I made sure I took my time letting it warm up in the driveway, should be fun the next few weeks.

you gotta let it warm up, lol. i do the same thing every morning around 7:30. i've got a crabby old biotch across the street from me that complains about everything and sometimes my old K/5 with 40 series flows doesn't like to kick down off high idle- gotta rev it several times to drop down, thought about fixing it but changed my mind.

VWBeamer · 07-31-2011, 01:57 PM

Nice!

What? If I ever get mine done up that nice, it'll still be driven and used because that is what they were meant to do. I mean, they all started out nice back in 67-72.

bc gman · 08-01-2011, 12:22 PM

I would of been driving it a lot more but the quadrajet that was rebuilt needs some tweaking and the guy that rebuilt it has been on vacation for a few weeks and now I am away for a few weeks.I am not sure what it is but it is almost stalls out when I give it gas.

bigsnookmaster · 08-01-2011, 12:45 PM

Very well done. Nice truck! And for the neighbor, buy a Harley, and see how much he misses the sound of the truck! LOL

dukcaln · 08-01-2011, 01:38 PM

that was well worth the wait I hope......very nice

sneaky · 08-01-2011, 06:52 PM

wow, great job...whats that writing on the firewall?

bc gman · 08-02-2011, 12:05 PM

sneaky I really haven't looked into the writing on the firewall but I believe the x246 blue was the colour and as for the z62 engine ? I am sure there is someone here that could answer that better than me. I know it came that way from the factory as I am the second owner and my father inlaw was the previous owner and he did not alter anything.

68 SHORT-STEP'N · 08-02-2011, 12:36 PM

That looks fresh off the showroom floor . Great Job !

original-71 · 08-02-2011, 02:39 PM
