1979 Chevrolet Bonanza "Big Ten"

[Project77]

Okay, here is the story line! this truck hasnt been started in 5 years the guy i bought it from let his WIFE!!! drive this truck after he bought it from one of my friends and after he put a $1200 set of heads on it along with a weiland intake and a street avenger holley carb. she got it hot and then it sat for a month or so the guy drove it another 10 miles from his fathers house to his house. he thinks at the time it was a head gasket that blew so he let it set for 5 years and hasnt been started since. i just got it today for $200 because it has a rebuilt transmission and possibly a 3.73 rear end i plan on putting them in my 77 silverado. i tried to start the truck today but sounds like the starter is locked up so tmoro i am going to pull it off and clean it up a little and grease the shaft and in the mean time i am going to make sure the motor isnt locked up.

this is supposed to be a parts truck for my 77 but im not sure yet if i want to tear this whole baby apart the body is damn near rust free(besides surface rust) and the interior is in damn good condition i dont see myself being able to tear it apart just for my 77 who is a very healthy horse!

Motor:
350 (rebuilt with $1200 set of heads that were mentioned to be aluminum, wieland intake, holley street avenger carb, and only has about 5,000 miles on it all)
im not sure if the motor is still any good but if it start or even if it doesnt start i will pull it apart and send the block off to get tested and even send the heads off as well

Transmission:
Th350 with a shift kit about 3,000 miles

Rear End:
rumored to be 3.73 gears but i will pull the cover soon and check
