dan42 · 09-13-2007, 11:10 PM

Now that's a project - the cab needs a little work, I'd say -

bankone1 · 09-13-2007, 11:14 PM

never can get enough pictures so send more nice pickup

71swb4x4 · 09-13-2007, 11:16 PM

Looks like a decent place to start.

red69ss · 09-14-2007, 05:05 PM

wanted to add more pics guy told me last time he had bed clean it was straight that must have been in 1977 I knew it was gone but hoped to salvage bed sides now I don't know that I can use them

red69ss · 09-14-2007, 05:07 PM

72chevy327 · 09-14-2007, 05:43 PM

That box looks pretty bad better give it to me

whatnow123 · 09-14-2007, 06:07 PM

You are one brave soul to attempt to resurrect that truck, I have to commend you on that! That truck is way beyond anything I would ever consider building.

68SHORTBOX · 09-14-2007, 06:23 PM

I would check the casting # on that motor again some of the 350's used the same block as the 327. I have 2 of them. Check the casting date on the blocke you may just have a stock 327.

brianthelion02 · 09-14-2007, 06:37 PM

kxnomore · 09-14-2007, 07:54 PM

Well, no one can say you don't have a pair!

On first glance I thought it looked pretty good. I should have never scrolled down the posts!

You the man for saving the impossible (for me).

Select · 09-14-2007, 08:08 PM

Hmmm. Around here it would be headed to the scrap yard. I commend you for your effort to save yet another....Mikey

Premium72 · 09-14-2007, 08:30 PM

good luck with that....

red69ss · 09-14-2007, 08:54 PM

68 shortbox casting # is 3970010 which can be a 327 or 350 but I ran engine id #'s on pad and it came up 74 model 350 according to nastyz28 ......yeah guys it is rough after looking it over good today I believe the doors,cab,hood,and maybe bedsides will be only things useable hopefully the engine can be rebuilt but it is locked up right now.

bad6772 · 09-14-2007, 09:03 PM

Id say that would make a truck..........just needs a little TLC

Yup, I commend you for attempting that restoration, I am super glad that you are doing it however, because everyone that is saved is awesome.

red69ss · 09-24-2008, 09:08 PM
