Project: Green Machine ~ 1970 Build Up

[Green Machine]

Well after reading all the other build up posts here on the board I thought that it is my turn for a build up thread. Lol

Well it all started about 2 years ago when we started looking for some parts for a project 67 we were thinking about fixing up, until the guy that owned the salvage yard we were looking through turned to his partner and said, “Should we show them the truck in the shed?”. Well, we went to look in the shed with him and we found a 1970 Chevy ½ Ton. It had a 250 Six Cylinder with a 3 speed Saginaw and a 3:73 open rear end. This truck had been sitting in the shed since 1992 (12 Years) when we bought it in 5/5/04.
This guy bought it off an estate auction 12 years earlier and had parked it in plans of fixing it up someday. But he decided that he had too many projects and he decided to let it go, (he is a former body man and has a bunch of old 60s 70s and early 80s Buicks and he had a thing for old chevy trucks so he had quite a few sitting in his yard). So after leaving his place we pretty much decided on the way home that we really wanted it because we would be kicking ourselves if we didn’t snag it up. So the next day we headed down with a truck and trailer, paid him the $850 dollars, loaded it up, and that is where the fun started.

Below is a picture from the morning after we rescued it. From there we drove the truck and trailer to the local carwash and we spent about an hour and a half and a whole sh*t load of quarters, lol, and we finally got it acceptable enough to park it in the driveway. The truck looked as if they went and drove it through a muddy field and then they parked it.

Sorry about the picture, it was before we invested in a digital camera, lol.
