My New Truck
Well I finally found a nice 1968 good enough to buy. It's a C-20 with a fresh 350 with World Products heads and a Turbo 400. Looks to have been repainted sometime in the past. I just plan on driving it the way it is next summer and then I think I will change it to a half ton with power disc brakes. I will use dropped spindles and lowering springs in the rear. Power steering too!

Re: My New Truck
Very nice truck. Why would you want to change it into a half ton?

Re: My New Truck
I will post interior pics for you. It has RED door panels, steering wheel, dash pad and seat. The reason I want to make it a half ton is to get it lower to the ground and put a 3.08 rear gear and 70 series 15 inch tires on it so I can do some serious cruisin'. It will be my daily driver when it is not SNOWIN'. Most likely it will either have a 383 STROKER or maybe a BIG BLOCK.

Re: My New Truck
 So this is what my husband does on the computer every morning! I don't see where he mentioned that he borrowed the cash from me to buy this new truck! Ask him about the three other trucks he has just sitting in the garage... Happy Thanksgiving Boys! the "Princess" - wife of Jim |

Re: My New Truck
Princess.. If you check the male DNA you will find a truck gene that causes this phenomenon. Some of us have it mutated so that it sometimes requires 2 , 3 or 4 trucks to keep us normal productive men. So you see it isn't our fault.. kind of like the shoe gene women have...

Re: My New Truck
Princess,
I've got three and my wife's not too thrilled with it - but I did just get here a new 328i, so she's O.K. with my addiction (for now). Your husband has some very nice trucks - have him build you one!

Re: My New Truck
Princess,
Men have collected worse things. Him collecting "trucks" is proof that he loves you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Re: My New Truck
What a nice truck!
I hate it when people drill holes in the bedsides for those hook thingys.

Re: My New Truck
Jim does not own all the CHEVY trucks in this family. Truck #6 belongs to me.
Here are pictures taken at the South Bulter Drag Strip. Guess who won? My shoe DNA beat his truck DNA! the "Princess" - wife of Jim |
