Hello, I am picking up a Camo'd 69 Chevy long bed dirt cheap ($200) 6/3speed stick soon to use as a break in truck for my fresh 468 BBC. Nothing fancy just an over powered sleeper/beater w bolt on parts. (knowing me tho, it will progress beyond that) I will have many questions in the future as to lowering, BBC install, disc brakes etc. I'll also need a 6 lug posi rear end. All seem to be common modifications. But new to me as my experiance has been mostly pre 48 street rods.(20 + years)and 60's GM muscle back in the 70's.
Having only seen the truck once and not getting the title yet. I am not sure as to the year. With that hood and clearence lights I think it is a 69. I also have this 68 as a parts truck too far gone to rebuild in my opinion it has the earlier sloped hood I would like to use.
