Don't give up man keep at it.

I saw you want to do a disk brake swap, try to find a 73-87. The cross member and everything nearly bolts right in. Only like 2 of the holes are off slightly and one needs to be drilled. And you wont have to change your motor mounts. Those trucks can be found sitting in peoples yards all over around here. I think theres 2 by my house sitting out on one of the farms. You could probably talk them out of the whole truck for 100 or maybe free, once they wont pass smog or the engine/trans goes out, people just park em

Saclandman · 08-27-2014, 02:48 PM

Yep, that's the plan eventually.

Saclandman · 08-28-2014, 10:00 PM

Look what showed up in my garage today. Thanks wreckedchevy and Eric in Montana for hooking me up with a spare tire carrier. Now to clean it up, paint it, and get it on the truck.

Saclandman · 10-04-2014, 10:57 PM

Not much progress of late. Money has been tight and not much time to spare. But, today I did throw a sheet of 3/4 plywood into the bed just so that I actually put stuff in the bed without it falling underneath the truck. I also temporarily seeled up the rust holes in the roof, firewall, and cab corner to keep water and critters out this winter.

Saclandman · 10-06-2014, 12:02 PM

Took the ol' boy out for a little drive just to make sure the brakes are working good. Seems to stop well. Glad it has power brakes. I think I'm having carb/float problems, it keeps flooding. But that's ok, the engine is going to get swapped anyway.

jimbosprint · 10-06-2014, 12:20 PM

Lucky. I want to drive mine so bad. I think I might get to later this week!

I can't drive it on the road yet, still registered non-op. But the property I have it stored at has a long driveway. I'd probably risk it if the block wasn't full of holes. Hate to get stranded on the side of the road with a non-op vehicle waiting for the CHP to roll up.

Saclandman · 10-06-2014, 02:10 PM

Posing for the camera.

Saclandman · 10-12-2014, 05:20 PM

Started pulling things apart in preparation for the engine swap.

Saclandman · 10-12-2014, 05:27 PM

Here's a good view of the crack in the block. Just below the head on the drivers side. This little 283 did it's best, but it time to go.

swamp rat · 10-13-2014, 07:12 PM

Yea no fixin that! Might be able to sell some of the used parts on the parts board to recoup some of the cost tho.

Yep. Going to salvage everything usable and put it up on the parts board.

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-13-2014, 07:35 PM

That's not a crack, that's a break. It pushed out quite a ways . Like Swamp says there may be some people interested in the internals and heads .

jimbosprint · 10-13-2014, 08:10 PM

Have fun with the motor swap (I did)! Maybe I can stop and check it out next time I go through Sacramento.

IMO if you want to make it more retro, you should paint the block orange, even the timing cover (unless you add other chrome to the engine). It will look more stock with the retro Coca-Cola theme. Even with the Edelbrock top, mine looks very stock just orange and black. I also used my original valve covers for the look.

My thoughts exactly. I like a clean original look. I'm not a chrome kind of guy, unless it's on the outside of a Buick. Under the hood, just orange and black. PM me next time your going through Sac, I live on the north side, just off of I-5, near Arco Arena. Truck is close by in West Sac.

If I had time tomorrow, I'd swing by Chico and say hi. I'm heading to Redding for a meeting in the afternoon.

jimbosprint · 10-13-2014, 11:28 PM

Stop on the way back?

Grill hoops. Before and after.

no1udknow · 11-02-2014, 01:13 PM

Good to see your finally , tatting to dig in... keep it up!

Saclandman · 11-02-2014, 05:41 PM

These grill hoops are tedious. Grill driving me a little nuts too. More progress coming.

jimbosprint · 11-02-2014, 06:25 PM

Just take your time. It is tedious, but will be worth it.

Saclandman · 11-02-2014, 08:58 PM

What you guys think of Rudolf the Red Nosed Coke Truck.

swamp rat · 11-02-2014, 09:07 PM

Nice keep it up!

67chevy1series · 11-02-2014, 10:00 PM
