Scored a '70 SWB factory Big Block truck!
It was delivered today (Thanks Tim!). I have been working a deal on it over the last week or so (hence my gold and white pics thread
![]() ![]() The engine is original, but is going to need a little work. It was said to have been running, but had an intake swap that was never finished. The oil looks good (no mixing, fairly clean), it has antifreeze in the radiator, it spins over fine with no noise, and all the lifters are moving, so I think the PO was telling the truth about it. I'll know more about it a few days now that I have it here. I'm probably going to rebuild it anyway, but I am going to try to get it running to see where I'm at with it. I can't wait to get started. I've always wanted one, and I plan on making this a very nice truck. I'm planning on sticking with the gold and white, but I may do a white 2 tone on the bottom to throw a little more color to it. As I said before, I'm probably going to add a few desirable factory options (buckets, tach, maybe tilt) that should have been there anyway (DANTIP called them birth defects - I love that term ![]()

Re: Scored a '70 SWB factory Big Block truck!
Cream of the crop! That Medium Gold Poly looks awesome when fresh. I think it looks best with Parchment interior. Nice snag!!

Re: Scored a '70 SWB factory Big Block truck!
Nice score. I know you'll keep us informed. Isn't that a Q-Jet on there? I noticed the Edelbrock logo....I've got one of 'em, too. Can't get 'em anymore.

Re: Scored a '70 SWB factory Big Block truck!
Good looking truck. I have liked the 396 ever since I had one in a 68 Nova it was scary fast.
