Should be done tommorow or the latest thursday, all the update pics are what i did today, witch included but were not limited to fixing the firewall where the jackrod hit, straightening the heaterbox, straightening the frame, unhooking and removing the front clip of the parts 77, and then i removed the bonanza emblems. Been a busy boy today haha.

Good score on that front clip. It even has the rare '77 only ochre yellow striped trim.

Ya, thats the entire reason we bought the red truck, was a camper special 77 with 8000 gross, and everything but the front clip had rust, kinda freaky. Engine sounds like a wrist pin is bad, and has a cam lobe out.



Its odd, we have 5 or 6 77s, i dont know how. All but one have the yellow trim too, but one is a burban.


My blue trucks a 77 heavy half, all original 350 4 bolt main 4 barrel, th350, and 3.40 open rear, and its sitting on 16x5.5 rims, with 5x5 bolt pattern, ive got two sets of 5 of those rims, they are rare., and i like em.
