striaght 6 DD reliablity

[motornut]

1972 Pontiac Ventura my first car (at 16)had a straight 250.
couldn't kill it,but sure tried
pedal to the metal doughnuts in parking lots(dumb)
lol one time we put it up to a wall,
did a one wheel wonder smoke show(beats lifting up the ass end)
rad blew another time ,over heated
but the tranny went first
drove it backwards two weeks with a dead tranny
till i got pulled over by police,they pulled up behind me,
means they were facing us lol we waved hello,
they put the roof lights on and walked up to the car .......
they called my parents to pick us up,and towed the car away

Agreed on Leo's book. We have a turbo charged 250 we were running in a 92 Camaro until it finally blew a head gasket (at 20psi). Pulled it out and now im looking for a truck to put it in.

ok well this short bed doent have a bed on it and im torn between to choices. 1 should i make a new like flat bed and try to run that for awhile until i can find a bed or 2 should i just wait and find a bed with nothing on it. ill be driving in the snow and ice and id really like to have some weight on the back. so what do you guys think

If you're not going to worry about the looks of the truck, run up to Corinth and see if Mike's junkyard has any shortbed trucks.

yea ive been there befor and everytime im there its kinda skethchy. and i heard he was in jail for something or other. i think i might go to the pull a part in cinci and see if they have anything. i think they are 200 for anybed there. i seen a ment step side on craigslist witch is what i want to run and it was only 200 bucks but i couldnt get it then and by the time i hade the money it was gone.

I agree that place is pretty shady, I don't go there much myself. If I need a salvage part I usually head over to Frankfort to L&M Salvage. They used to have acres (literally) of old 4x4 GM and Ford trucks. When scrap got high a couple years ago he crushed alot of stuff, but alot of those trucks had been there for years and were pretty well picked clean. I was last there back in the spring I think.

they have pretty good prices on there stuff or is it like the place in town that wants like 700 bucks for a tbi350 that they wont gaurnetee to run lol

[87 V20 Scottsdale]

Ah it's kinda hit and miss. I think the last thing I got there was a power steering pump with the mounting bracket for $45, and they pulled it.

yea i might just try to find one on craigslist ir something. idk ill just wait till i have money for it i guess. i really just need to throw a few hundred pounds on there for the winter time
