Bubba

[Ron S.]

This build thread is for now for ideas. I have a 1979 Chevy C10 (scottdale). The truck came with the name Bubba from the prior owner who I knew.

Specs that I know:
Engine: 305
Transmission: its a auto haven't look to see what one it has.
It has the 8 foot box on it. It originally had the option for fleetside tanks but did not have both tanks when i got it.

What I have been thinking of doing and wanting to do is custom build a 383 stoker for the motor. With Elderbrock performer in take and carb. I have been thinking about finding a K frame for it. I want to find a step side box for it. I want to run stacks and the side right behind the cab (reason for step box is to remove the steps if needed) I also have been bouncing around the idea of putting a suburban front clip on if i can find one I like the looks of and maybe a custom grill and bumper. I have also thought of maybe putting a flat bed box on it.

I am up for all ideas and opinions.


This is currently how the truck looks (as of early this summer)

The box is shot and it needs a lot of work but it is a project for me.
