Heres mine!

the baron · 06-26-2003, 04:14 PM

some explanations will follow...

the baron · 06-26-2003, 04:19 PM

This 1979 truck used to be a 350 Diesel , brought new to Belgium , I think it was assembled in Canada , I'm not sure though
It has been fitted back in 1994 with a Oldsmobile engine , a 350 , which was the only engine who could be fitted on the existing tranny ( TH 350 )

the baron · 06-26-2003, 04:26 PM

It will remain stock , as I have no green for the moment , but I prefer them anyway like they were , so the restauration will only be a new paint job & a new front bumper.
I'm searching for an Olds 455ci engine , but they are very rare in Europe...

the baron · 06-26-2003, 04:30 PM

I was surprised when I bought it that the cab back window & the boundary under that window were removed , allowing a passage between the cab & bed , bed being fitted with a top.
To ensure water tightness , one of the previous owner added a rubber seal between the cab & the top , as you can see on the first picture.
really noisy on the highway , if you ask me...

the baron · 06-26-2003, 04:35 PM

the left fender has to be replaced or restaured.
I went to the local GM dealer ask for $$$ for a new OEM one : 1000 US$.
This is twice the price I paid for this truck !
I told the guy he could keep it , thanks , no way , a carbody specialist wouls ask less $$$ to fix it....

navybear70 · 06-26-2003, 08:30 PM

Here she is. I still can't tell where that 350 came out of, but being an old diesel, I'm leaning towards Olds.

navybear70 · 06-27-2003, 01:31 PM

Tanx Baron,
I had a '78 lwb back in 1990 that was a diesel conversion and had an Olds 283 in it. I remember those blue valve covers you are talking about. My current truck had a 5.7 diesel. The TH350 is original as far as I know, but maybe it has been swapped out because it had a fresh rebuild on it. (So I was told. Do fresh rebuilds leave shavings on the bottom of the pan?

) ANyways, here's a pic. This was after my engine BBQ so it may not be too clear.:p See the black ribbed valve covers? ANyone know what those came on?

Well, I posted a pic of my 84 months ago in this thread, here's a recent pic of my Gentleman Jim.

bagged74 · 07-17-2003, 10:15 AM

here is a fairly recent pic, I have made some progress since then.

Slonaker · 08-07-2003, 12:31 PM

I thought I had posted to this before, but I guess not.

This is what my truck looked like one year ago. It sits a hair lower in the front now since I got rid of the heavy duty springs, and I have removed the grab bars from the top of the bed.

It isn't running right now, since I am putting the engine back together.
