3/4 ton long stepper workhorse (not much of a workhorse now!)
Some may remember this truck from http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=3683603 truck's a 1970 3/4 ton 8 lugger exfleetside. Well, now it's painted and ready for the powertrain! engine it's a 383 gm performance with vortec heads, we're looking at the edelbrock's inyection sistem also. Transmission will be the same (until it breaks), calipers and rotors are from blackbird customs and the bed from american classic. Let's see what you guys think!

Looking good man. I have to say, I really like the view in your shop...wish I had those windows..might keep me from getting so claustrophobic in my garage!

Where in Costa Rica do you live? I lived a short while south of Orosi a long time ago. Maybe try a native wood for the bed? Oak doesn't like dry/wet cycles much

Excellent. You've got to love a truck that has drum brakes that are so big there's no need to convert to discs.
