somethin followed me home part II

[tkeduk8r]

well you all it happened again (after some advice from da-burb (kevin)) ... I had just trailered my 63 out to its new owner and decided id stop over at a junkyard up here to see what his lowball offer on this 70/71/72 chevy/GMC "calico" 4x4 would be, and we worked out a trade for a parts 76 silverado i had here, so home it came... it aint pretty, in fact there is not rust free sheet metal part on the whole truck but it is a complete 71 or 72 3/4 ton 4x4, 350/350/np205 driveline with the round (Eaton i believe) rear with the original 16.5 inch rims and Spicer lockouts. The engine is a pre 76 350 with carb and all attached yet... power streering sans pump and brackets (missed them by 4 DAYS!) and alt brackets, and power brakes (1/2 ton booster). Has the 4x4 ramhorns on it yet and a new (believe it or not) dual exhaust that dumps in front of the rear axle... Not much else for options at all, but it also has a mint grill and the from GMC bumper will make for a good driver.. the rear wont be too shabby either once sandblasted and painted... I have a line on a fairly rust free 71 GMC cab and front clip and a 8 ft bed that is currently a trailer, and make a nice work truck out of this, that will enable me to start the resto of my 70 K10 SWB.. I just wish i woulda been there last week so the ps pump, brackets and lines woulda been there but im diggin it just the same... here are some pics!!!
