holy hell thats alot of sludge

[Dirty Rat]

yea but the funny part it actually ran good lmao

[hgs_notes]

That's nasty. You're going to need more than an intake and gasket to fix that. That 327 sounds like a good idea about now. BTW, even with the issues on the engine, the rust, etc, you got a screaming deal on this truck. The seat alone is almost worth what you paid for it.

[Dirty Rat]

So after checking out the motor I found out that it wasn't a chevy 350 but a chevy 305 so I knew that I needed to get a 350 motor to drop into it.

After making a few calls I was on my way to pick up a early 70's corvette 350.

Now I am feeling alot better

[Dirty Rat]

again with more pics

[72chevyfleet]

nice truck! nice intake too i didnt see this but what do you plan to do with it?

[Dirty Rat]

Well for now we are going to make it into a sleeper and work on it everyday til we finish it I guess since right now I have time to work on it

[Dirty Rat]

oh and we are still trying to figure out exactly how we are going about building this truck but I will make sure to keep up with plenty of pics and descriptions of what we are doing along the way.
Right now I am the owner of the truck but I have my best friend and other friend working on it as well.

I have a habit of picking up project vehicles but this one really got me interested so I went for it.

There are alot of plans for the truck but some of them might take a lot longer than some of the other guys on here since I am working off a next to nothing budget for this truck.

[Dirty Rat]

and the best part lol is that we dont even have an air compressor we are doing everything by hand as you can see

[heeroyue2002]

ive always done it all by hand. big ol cheater pipe can work wonders. earlier in the year i came across a compressor for cheap, a big classic one that worked well but it stopped working and i havnt got around to checking it. at the last swap i scored another oldie for $20. its worken great so far.

nice build. which one are you in the last pictures? guy with the orange hair or one with the name tag.

[Dirty Rat]

Actually I am neither since I am taking the pictures I guess I will have to post one of me up at some point ......

[Dirty Rat]

I didn't mean for it to come across as a bad thing because people use an air compressor it is actually more of an inside joke I guess. If I had one I would probably use it all the time but for some weird reason I always get stuck with crazy people who like to steal from me and sell my equipment so I have just not replaced the one I used to have lol.
The last couple days has been alot of fun for us though. Today I am going to work on pulling the 305 out of the truck then I guess I will work on fixing some of the wiring in the engine bay as well as cleaning up a little bit more of the motor we got last night.

happens to me all the time as well.
need new jack stands again. had bought some nice new ones in the beginning of the year and no one borrowed them.

Glad you scored another engine. And as hgs mentioned....that seat's worth as much/more than what you paid for the truck...

Also, the belts from the 67....do they have the bowtie on them? Those are also fairly valuable.

[Dirty Rat]

Well as far as the seatbelts in the truck when I got it the truck only had 3 of the male ends so I went to the junkyard and found a set from a donor69 c10.

Yesterday we worked on the truck for a few as you can see from the pics below

[Dirty Rat]

Well right after I got done typing the last message the mail person knocked on my door to deliver my new headlight system that will be going into the truck, I think I am going to love these with the halo headlights I already have

[litew8]

camel hump heads on that vet engine?

[Dirty Rat]

So my friend Brian brought over his truck

[VA72C10]

It's cool to have friends who enjoy these trucks too!
