1969 Longhorn wanna be farmtruck
Stole the almost all original truck for 600 bucks! Came with a power pac 327. Story goes the old man bought it new from Bigelow Chevrolet in 69. He took off the tailgate and threw on a camper hitched up the boat. It's guesstimated he put around 100,000 on it by 1979 and the motor croked. He threw in the 327 and put the tailgate back on and sent it on its way. It landed in Redmond where the guy I got it from, threw on the camper hooked up the boat, and put about 40,000 on her. He drove it through the late 80's and ended up parking it for good around 1990. He said he had moved it under its own power about five times since then. I went up there put clean gas in it and a fresh battery and she roared to life! Well not really roared.. More creaked but it ran and it ran good! Handed the man the money, cleaned a spot on the windshield of moss and dust, and drove it an hour home. No problem. Gave her a bath and a wax fresh tires and a tune up the next day and drove the hell out of it. Then I got a wild hair and decided the 350 sittin in the shop looked a lot better between some wheel wells. Long story short the 350 goin in now is nothin special just fresher then the 327( new cam, carb, gasket kit, and an hei). And I'm just gonna freshen the whole rig up make it a driver. Not sure how to upload multiple pics but I will post some asap.
