My 66 step-side
My dad gave me his old 62 fleet side back in the late 80s for my 1st truck. I have wanted another one ever since. Always loved the step-sides and finally found this one with a donor 283 and turbo 350 trans with the power glide in the bed. All was there but not hooked up.
A couple of weekend and a few hundred bucks later and she runs and almost drives. It seems the "57" 283 runs great but the TH350 is shot. But no all is lost. My buddy who is building a 72 K5 Blazer with an 06 Duramax drive train has a turbo 400 I can HAVE!!!! And I get to use his lift, welder and tools to do the swap. I still can't driver her and already on tranny #3. Upgrade every time too. Not bad. I will run it like it is for a while and build as I get $$$ for it. I plan on swapping the cab as the PO beat the snot out of the firewall for the BB he had in it, the floor is rusted out and a sunroof installed. Last edited by jesseo; 05-02-2013 at 06:44 PM.
