Re: BigRed 81 crewcab dually
It dropped a valve and needs to have the top half of the engine put back together. but that's why i got it so cheap.

Re: BigRed 81 crewcab dually
Thanks guys, as you can see from the above pic the engine needs to be put back together. But I may have found a bigblock that a guy pulled from an 86 suburban. So yes Joe once I get in engine in bigred I will make a road trip.

Re: BigRed 81 crewcab dually
Very cool! Looks like it will be fun man. So I am gathering that you are planning on dropping the coin for the semi wheels?

Re: BigRed 81 crewcab dually
Right now I've got a headache becuz I can't find a decent engine. And its not going to be a shortbed, I'm going to paint it black from body line up and keep the bottom half Red including the dually fenders.
