A 1969 Chevy for Her

[RckyMntnKng]

Hey guys figured I should start a build thread on the new project.

Up until now, all my time has been spent in the 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy forum as I spent a couple years worth of weekends building up my 71 Jimmy.

Well the wifey ended up catching the bug and persuaded me to turn wrenches on a pickup for her.

Out of the blue this 69 Chevy sorta falls in my lap as a trade for one of our other rigs and she loves it immediately.

The story goes - Its been sitting in a field unregistered since 2002..the carb is laying in the floorboard and the tank is sitting upside down in the back of the bed along with a 700R4 because it was planned for a fuel injection swap at some point that never materialized. It used to be a pretty hot truck with some coin put down but some undesirables poured Brake fluid on the paint and ruined it. Then the family, kids, work came along and the dream got pushed to the back burner (field) and almost re-emerged a few times in the form of fuel injection parts etc but just never came to be....

So now she decides to take it on and it shows up on a flatbed trailer in my driveway about a week later....
