Jojo's '70 Stepper
Ok so here's my build thread. I searched for 3 months to find the right truck.
Check out my intro thread if you want: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=344097 My criteria for buying it is the following (in order of importance): short bed has to be able to drive it home little or no rust except for cab corners, rockers etc v8 auto trans less than $2000 I got all that. the motor: 305 <<<starts right up but starts to die out at the stop light the tranny: turbo 350 <<< leaks and can't make up it's mind on 2nd or 3rd gear on the highway the body: rust in usual places and not much at all above the rockers the bed: fleet side but gonna be a stepper My plans: 1: make a safe and comfortable daily driver (not a show truck) 2: make brakes, steering, handling as good as new (or better if money allows) 3: lower suspension 4: possibly get a rebuilt 350 but definetly get a rebuilt transmission 5: repair body and all rust 6: fix up the interior and add a/c 7 get some nice wheels 8: paint And do it all myself!
