Gave My '71 Away...............

[Bishops Trucks]

Was riding the strassenbahn (street train in Austria) to my middle sons baseball game yesterday. We were talking and his 13th Birthday is coming up July 5th (July 4th in my eyes cause the Doc. ripped us off by 1 minute, lol) so I decided to give him my project truck. It's sitting in storage now in a million pieces. I told him it was his as long as he is in the garage helping me put it all back together so he knows the truck from the ground up. He was all happy, I told him it will still have all the goodies I bought for it. 4-way airbag system, complete suspension setup, etc, etc, etc except for the big block 4-speed stuff. Thats more stuff for my Camaro =). I will put the GMPP 350 H.O. back in it with the T.H. 400. It should be just fine for him. I WILL NOT have a repete of my oldest son's doings, I gave him my '58 pick-up for his 15th birthday. All he had to do was install the rear brake lines and bleed the brakes and put the bed back on and it was ready to go. It had a '75 Corvette 350 with a 4-speed in it. He traded it for a broken down 4-wheeler while I was in England for 3 years. The '71 will stay in my name till I see fit to sign it over to him. Should be a fun project with him and keep him out of trouble.
