Project Secret 70
Bought this in summer 09 and been working on it since. Its a '70 Chevy 3/4 ton 2wd that has been put together with some mix matched parts from its original owner. Costed me $600 and I've invested my share, but before I go any further I'll start with pictures of when I got it and post my progress. Hope you enjoy!

Re: Project Secret 70
looks like a nice starting project so what are your plans for the truck?

Re: Project Secret 70
Sorry it has taken so long. I've ran into a few issues that has prevented me from working on it and getting on here(Internet sucks!!!). I have gotten pretty far with the engine rebuild. Bored the block .030 over, port and polished the heads, assembled the rotating assembly, torqued the heads down, and next will be the intake manifold then put it in the pickup.
My plans for the pickup are to get it rolling and then take my time redoing pretty much everything. Touch it all up with some custom things here and there. Im having issues with pictures at the moment but I'm working on fixing that right now. Thomas |

Re: Project Secret 70
I'm not sure why uploading the pictures is such an issue, but I got it fixed.

Re: Project Secret 70
I do not have any updated pics, but the break in went well. Took it for a drive yesterday and it is very impressive. Hits 60mph instantly!!
 I need to do some basic things before it is complete, but in the mean time its something to keep me busy. I'm in the process of getting a video up for you and give a walk around for you. Thomas |
