Yeah,it`s my project "Up In The Air",in more ways than one.I haven`t done a thing.Got it cheap enough.It`s a 307/3spd that I`ve never heard run.I have a 4spd set-up and a running`71 350.If I go with that I`d like to build it into a 383.Who knows,I`d really like to build-up a 292 or a diesel.The bed was worse than it looks and I have a Stepside on it now.I want this to be a trailworthy dual purpose machine.I have a set of K/30 axles,but gonna use a HO52 I have with No-Spin in the rear.I got 12.50/37 SSRs from Kurt that`ll go on it.AND,a 69/70 GMC front clip and tailgate.I have all kinds of plans,but don`t want to get out there too far with the "I`m gonnas".You never know,right?
It`s just settin`there looking at me for now.

Tim, drop everything your doin and get on that shortbox. Or call me I'll come and get it. ! ton axles? very cool. I need that truck. I never got the $2000 shortie just couldn't make it happen Oh well I'll find another. Nice trucks guys!

I like that olive green one is post #25.... kinda the paint i'm gonna do but less olive I think...

That's a big K-20 in that pic!

[special-K]

Some day,some day.I`m having hard time keeping my daily driver going for now.
Mike,I think that may be GM Fairway Green.Look at my`95 in 88-98 pictures sticky.

[blackscout]

Tim,

That sounds like me. The Holley doesn't like the cold....or the rusty gas tank. Just keeping the DD running is work enough in this weather. I am switching over to a Quadrajet with an rpm intake. Hopefully it will run better and get a little better MPG. At least my only truck payment is the parts I buy!

[special-K]

Same here.A good Q-jet is just the ticket,IMO.My`72 is waiting for a steering box anyday and Thursday my`92 either threw the pressure plate or trans shaft broke.Sounded aweful,had to shut it down and call a friend to trailer it where we can tear into it.I`m screwed for transportation at the moment.It`s too nasty to pull the trans outside this weekend.ARGHHhhh!!!

[blackscout]

Man I feel for ya. good to hear that you concur on the quad. It was recommended by a friend that is very knowledgeable. I am driving my restoration truck because my winter beater blew cyl 7. She needs a new engine.

Ooooh...nice batch of truck rat thar.I don`t care who y`are.

I may need to throw a steering box from a`70 Blazer I parted last September.I`ve had it sitting for like 25 years.Ya think the seals might leak?I just may tommorrow if a need to get food.
My dang Harley broke the drive belt last fall or I`d ride that.Hey,wind chill only works down to 40.

Special, i bet if you cut the posts down to 5 or 6 a day. You could possibly make some progress on that fine 71' or get the belt changed on your hog. IN THE APROXIMATLY 1,520 DAYS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN A MEMBER YOU HAVE 23,044 POSTS. THAT IS BETTER THAN 15 A DAY (EVERY DAY). DO YOU SLEEP?

[Jtrux]

I already have a 1st gen blazer, and a shortbed 4x4 79 Ford, maybe my next project needs to be a 71-72 SWB 4x4 or a K20, I can't decided.

Dang, i'm never gonna complain again.

[blackscout]

Damn Tim,

I never would have guess you got that much **** goin' on. I feel for ya bro. If there is anything I can do I will. Do you have a steering box? I got tons of parts. Sounds like you need to ditch that POS 92 and build a real truck. That is what I did. Just one old good one. Easy to fix. I don't know haw you always seem to be in a good mood, But good on ya! Keep your head up, Its just a time.

[special-K]

Sorry guys.I`ve had a rough couple of days and NO I won`t burden you all with it.It`s all good and will only get better.

Now where`s all those short 4wds?

[BIG HEAD]

special i need to think before i post. i am humbled and i apologize for being inconsiderate. i hope things work out for you. let me know if i can help?

[msgross]

I saw that blue one in #38 at Carlisle one year... very nice truck

[special-K]

BIG Head,no worries.One thing I know is we`re all at least one part A-hole.Anyone that says they`re not...well they`re full of sh!+.

Hey Mike.Did you see it last summer,too.I saw it in`07 and never got through there last summer.Me took the pic.Me like,too.

[msgross]

maybe it was 07... same year they had that military tribute truck in the pavilion, with tons of monitors and airbrushing....

Here's my 72K10. Its got a 350 crate motor but I put GMPP vortec heads with a low end torque Comp Cam kit. Also put a TH400 in it with a NP205 transfer case hooked to a Gear Vendors overdrive. Gas tank is out of the cab with a fuel cell in the bed. The interior is soundproofed with leather Caddy power seats. Its no trailer Queen and sees plenty of time in the woods during hunting season. I love these old trucks!
