here is a pic of my 73. Nothing is lined up yet, just on the truck. It is dirty, too, as it has been sitting in the garage for a couple of months. Hope the pic is not too big....

Jonboy · 07-27-2003, 10:19 PM

engine pic. This is still dirty, too.

Jonboy · 07-27-2003, 10:21 PM

...and my new toy. I picked this one up last week.

bigblock73 · 07-27-2003, 10:28 PM

Looks awesome!! Also looks like I am not the only yellow 73-80 here anymore either.

When do you plan to finish it up?

I would like to drive it by my birthday, in November. I need to get up to OKC and pick up the bed, and get it painted. I lost all of the bolts to put the rest together when I moved it from the dealership I used to work at. That is why nothing is adjusted. I tried to buy a truck for small parts and bolts at a police auction last week, but they all went for stupid money

. I need to just go to the pick-a-part and get my bolts, but it has been pretty hot. That, and I am lazy.

It looks like our trucks are almost identical. Mine is an original 454, TH400, gauges, and posi truck. That is about it. I couldn't handle the green, so it turned yellow.

WOW! Sounds like whoever purchased the truck new wanted to go fast! Most truck equipped like that are either 3/4 ton LWB's or 4x4s...not too common for a SWB. Have any "before" pics?

Hey man your grass looks great. What do you use on it??

78chevstepside · 07-28-2003, 09:08 PM

Actually i just planted a new lawn. I recently had a big spruce tree removed and after all the roots were chipped. I had soil with alot of wood chips in it(even after hauling most of it away). I put 2 inches of 4 way top soil( sand, dirt, munure and mulch) so the new grass would grow Along with new sprinkler system, Actually the pics were of the new grass with my truck thrown in(who wants to look if pics of grass lol).

heres my wifes blazer and grass

Jonboy · 07-28-2003, 09:19 PM
