Hello from south east Texas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tiger Hays · 11-30-2008, 08:57 AM

Hello I am Tiger Hays,I live south of Houston down by the water. I do alot of trout fishing and I build Jeeps.I havent owned a 67-72 Chevy for about 25 yrs now untill today!
About 25 yrs ago I went to North side ofDallas to pick up a 65 4x4 lifted blah blah blah,it was a POS.On my way back threw Dallas I stopped at a shop to look at a 57 conv. I ended up with a 69 Swb 396 fleet side with a wood bed,auto a/c the works.Sold it in a pinch up in Arkansas a few years later and it bounced around for 20 yrs I guess. Last month I was back in Ark. deer hunting and I drove over to Amity to see some old friends I noticed a Blue and Silver SB on the side of a old run down shop,mine was blue and white but I had heard rumors the white had been painted silver. So I stopped to take a look. Yeah pretty easy to see where this is going huh.I got my truck back. Not to bad of shape either but motor and tranny are gone. I can find a #s matching block but I have a 96 454 and trans which way to go??????

Welcome Tiger, from Pearland. Just a short jog west of you. That is incredible that you found your old truck after so many years. To bad it doesn't still have the eng/trans. Pesonally I would try to find an era specific engine and fix it up, but there are alot of customizers on here that will simply tell you to go modern.
You might wan't to post this question in the 67-72 forum section. The welcome section is kind of like a "robot" section if you will. Everyone posts a "welcome from ??" but they don't read your thread therefore no one knows you put anything. You could put "Hi i'm new here, chevys stink. You are all stupid."; and most people will give the same response.
