Hey guys I'm glad to find this forum. I have one for my other car so I figured why not. I have a 1969 C20 CST, I bought it from the original owner for 1500 when I was in college. The truck then proceeded to sit in front of my house and collect parking tickets. Without a driveway, all I could do was play hide n seek with parking enforcement. Well one day the neighbors and their relentless "your bussiness is my bussiness" had the truck impounded. I couldn't see MY baby hauling gardening tools around LA so I borrowed the money, got it out... 900 in parking tickets alone.

Now it sits safe from the parking enforcement.... people, in my drive way at another house. When I got it, I got another engine, I tore it down and sent to a shop. Their work was horrible so I had to get it done all over again. This time it was done right I got a beefy RV type cam, new pistons crank. I built it up, and everything is dead on, mains rods all of it I'm so excited. Next is the Edlebrock air gap intake head rebuild and a dist. This being a 800 plunge, its on hold till after Xmas. I can't do a frame-up so I'm gonna do my best. It's gonna be the nicest daily driver I can make it limited by funds space and time.

I'll post pics asap, its a cali truck so minimal rust.
