thanks for diggin pu the old thread.


i think im gonna end up hot rodding this thing.

so a couple weekends ago i was up north idk if i had to many pbr's in me or what but some how i managed to break the key off in the ingnition i know its not a hard fix haha but im thinking about pulling the 350 out of it and putting it in my truck either this summer or next winter.

trucks just been sitting because of the wisconsin winters. cant wait to hit the streets this spring tho.

[oldblue1968chevy]

whatcha driving?

So your gonna take the motor outta the old truck up north (wherever that is lol) and build it for the c10? gonna leave the 3 spd?

[threeonthetree]

im drivin a 01 impala haha its a cruiser with the 3.4 v6

im gonna take the 350 outta my 79 k5 blazer its got a strong running 350 in it with headers and cherry bombs.

yeah leave the 3 on the three on the tree till i burn it up haha.

[oldblue1968chevy]

I aint burned mine up yet!

[threeonthetree]

did you move it to the floor yet?

haha do they have the same clutch? i have a manual fly wheel for the 350. how about the clutch linkage and that one piece that connects to the block? you got a pic of that?

[67chevy1series]

wow i love what you did to this truck! friend sent

[oldblue1968chevy]

I'll take some pictures sometime for you.

No, I left it on the column, thats the whole point. If I put it on the floor, i'll go 5spd(NV3500/4500) I dont think the T5 would hold up or camaro 4spd.

[292farmer]

i kinda like on the column vehicles their different and fun to drive(provided they don't jam), though they don't speed shift well hows that six holding up? though seems like you haven't driven much due to weather
hey i was wondering do you have any more pics of that exhaust you made on your truck? im looking for ideas and remembered that yours was simple and yet really sweet looking thanks!

i kinda like it too.. haha i was given a buddy of mine a ride to work and hes like what the hell is this a automatic??? and i told him all about the column shift hes like thats some studabaker ****.. haha

yeah not much because of the weather i dont feel like spending 4 bucks at the car wash everyday... i cant wait till spring tho. six is holding up but is starting to blow some smoke... after i rev it up nice. thats kinda why im thinking 350..
haha i think i do have a pic. it was just a muffler after the down pipe then i had a straight piece to a 45 degree cut that i welded. and it came out in front of the tire. simple like you said







and here are the 2 motors... what would you do?

rebuild this orignal 69 block?


or pull this motor that is a strong runner.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Do you KNOW the one up north needs going thru?

[threeonthetree]

my old man said it ran

but didnt have any power
he said it wouldn't make it up hills i think i remember im saying it didnt have any
compression. could just need some rings.

[grayharville]

cool build man, It reminds me of my 70, Im guessing you used John Deere Blitz black? funny... I used Valspar brand tractor paint on mine. lol

cant wait to see color!
ill have to spray it inside
but our shop is heated so im pretty lucky.
for now ill toss a pic up.
anybody ride bikes on here?

i used to do bmx until my truck!

[grayharville]

I used to do bmx until i got fat and started driving my truck everywhere! lol And i would personally pull that 69 motor, completely rebuild it, hone it/bore it, new rings, Pistons if you have to bore, new mild cam, all new bearings, get the heads reworked, an aluminum intake, Hei distributor and a set of headers, and you would be set. Plus your k5 would still run.
