Lookin good, nice parts collection you have there.

STOCKISH · 04-10-2011, 10:09 PM

Man, that sure is going to be an amazing truck! Great work so far buddy!

**SOON2BLAZE** · 04-10-2011, 10:26 PM

Hell ya! nothing like hunting down parts, good job.

Zoomin · 04-10-2011, 11:48 PM

Where did you get the radiator hoses?

Surprising that your NOS wipers were made in Mexico.

heeroyue2002 · 04-10-2011, 11:58 PM

you didnt strip all the back of the cab.

Radiator hoses were off ebay...I'll look up the link later and post it.
Yeah, the wipers were also off ebay...didn't show the hecho en mexico sticker on them

But they are brand new wipers that look like my originals made by GM that I hadn't been able to find... probably really NNS (new newer stock) but still discontinued from what I've found.

Oh wow, I didn't notice that

Just kidding. Working on that man....just got the bed off

Still have under the cab, the rest of the firewall, and parts of the interior to finish too...

VA72C10 · 04-13-2011, 10:04 PM

Got the NOS piece for over the tailgate handle

my4by2 · 04-13-2011, 10:06 PM

Nice score man! N.O.S. stuff is always nice to find!

VA72C10 · 04-13-2011, 10:06 PM

Been busy with local selling of parts and getting ready for carlisle...

....here are some pics of our family vehicle.

I like the stance with it loaded up

Looks kinda full, huh?

Not much air space

No room for me to move inside

Forgot to get pics of the tables, glass, fender, and grilles i had on the roof rack

VA72C10 · 04-13-2011, 10:07 PM

Oh...the picture with the rear hatch open was AFTER the show...shows how little I sold as it was still PACKED

**superflysteiny** · 04-13-2011, 10:10 PM

thanks, getting there...almost got all NOS stuff for the outside.

Might be a BIG change of direction on this project soon (people who know me and my builds will NOT be surprised

)

I'm still going to build the truck and it will be a SWB BB Super.....but might not be this truck. Looking at a truck in NC that is a TRUE SWB BB Super with even more options than this truck had. Also has the correct 402/400 with it. So I am leaning towards selling this frame/cab and purchasing the other truck.

I'm going to get the rust repaired in the cab and freshen up the frame a little and see if I can sell it for what I have in it....then pick up the other SWB super....

I just feel to do this build right...with all the nice and NOS stuff I have and to get top dollar I should get a TRUE SWB BB Super with number's matching block, frame & cab....

Opinions?

heeroyue2002 · 04-13-2011, 10:40 PM

thats how you load a van up! i use my astro for scrap collecting as well so ive had it squatting like heck.

IF (cost of new truck + body work to get to where you are now + shipping) < (extra you will get on sale + proceeds from sale of this truck - what you have in this truck)

do it

ELSE

forge ahead

My thought is that there might be people who really want a TRUE original documented Swb bb truck and no matter how nice I make this swb bb...the original documentation will show it was a LWB. If I was building a driver or nice weekend cruiser I wouldn't care....but the amount of $$$ I have tied up in parts...this needs to be 100% right

The truck I'm looking at has OOODLES of documentation...I WILL spend more than I did on this truck in getting it, but as I said, the new truck comes with the correct 402/400 including everything for the engine (carb, intake, air cleaner, brackets, A/C, etc etc...

So I'm willing to pay more. In the end I feel it's a good investment if I want a chance at getting top $$$ for the truck.

And, someone will get a good deal on a nice SWB BB Super truck when I sell this one

Or...I can always part it for at least what I have in it

BB specific parts
402 engine (out of chevelle) rebuilt with mild cam
Posi rear (373)
Tilt
Cheyenne super stuff
Cab and rolling SWB frame on rally wheels with good title and 67K original miles disc front 5 lugs with power steering
I count at least 3000 in value there.

Nice find, Jonathan.

**67cheby** · 04-14-2011, 10:04 AM

get the other truck if you are going for a BIG BUCK build !! my opinion

gcburdic · 04-14-2011, 10:07 AM

WHAT??!?!?! you are going to change directions after 15 pages of updates...I'm shocked

If you wanna complete original big block, big buck swb super build then go for the other one....you'll be selling to a limited market, but I know you know that already

no moa · 04-14-2011, 10:58 AM

wow, i'd do it.

BB72CHEVKT · 04-14-2011, 11:30 AM

I think it would be a smart move to get the real deal. I was suprised when this thread was started to see you use all these high dollar parts and it not be the real deal.

**lolife99** · 04-14-2011, 11:59 AM

Just my opinion,... but the real deal "high dollar" restoration will require the chassis to be nut and bolt correct.
All colors, and finishes.
I think it will be hard to make a profit.
(just my 2 cents)

Crazy for me to change my mind, huh?

Yep, I realize it's going to be a VERY limited market due to the price....therefore I want no reason for someone to question the legitimacy of the truck

That's been my thought from the beginning too...I had some people tell me it might not matter...but that's a big chance to take

I've run the numbers a few times now and I'll do okay even if it sells for less than I'm expecting. I have great hookups for body/paint/glass that really help me save. And I've done relatively well buying all this NOS stuff...

If I hadn't seen CSM and Jerry Brown's over restored trucks selling for 50-70K within the last 6 months I'd be concerned about making a profit too...but I'm going to build a truck modeled after theirs (and using many of the same parts for that matter (CSM parts who Jerry also uses)
So it really comes down to the quality of the body work and paint that would be the only difference (other than the marketing/reputation advantage that they have) And I'm confident in the guys doing the body work and paint!

Now that's CUBE UTILIZATION at it's finest. I'd have trouble finding room for a cigarette-butt in there. Nice Work!!
