I have a 348 that I plan to put in my 70 c20 that I am making into an extended cab.

72armyswbtruck · 04-19-2007, 05:43 PM

Sweet and welcome to the board

johnnywagon · 04-19-2007, 05:53 PM

Now that I know it had a 348 and was in my neck of the woods. I AM sick!

Look at what I just brought home w/a dead 6 cyl.

72armyswbtruck · 04-19-2007, 05:54 PM

Now that's just mean, your rubbing it in.

RANDY COX · 04-19-2007, 05:59 PM

johnnywagon · 04-19-2007, 07:12 PM

Oh theres rust, and I suppose an expensive rebuild on a rare 348 doesnt fit the low-buck theme. (sorry 'bout the hi-jack)

72armyswbtruck · 04-19-2007, 07:29 PM

No problem, it was worth it just to see this pic

67-72chevyman · 04-19-2007, 08:35 PM

I understand that the value of the motor is worth more than junk, but I know alot of guys that will just junk stuff cause they don't want to deal with "lowballing customers".
A buddy of mine had a truck that some guy wanted the motor out of. He told him give me $100 for the truck and it's yours (very fair deal). The guy screwed around on him for a couple weeks. My buddy junked the truck out of spite

That is sad - I though junk was high right now? - small rice cars are bringing near $100 around here - at least last time I checked anyway.

**special-K** · 04-19-2007, 10:59 PM

Scrap is up and all.But,really,I think people are getting carried away scraping cars over chump change.It`s alot of work getting junk in to recycle.I can think of better ways to make more money.

Go ahead and make my day. Tell me they gave you that 59 just to get it out of the yard.

There was a money transaction...but, yes I stole it.

Long story, short: I bought from an old friend. I was with him 20 years ago when he bought it from the original owner. My friend has fallen on hard times and he came to me asking if I wanted it. He drove it for 8 years, spun a crank bearing and its been parked since around 1995. NOW ITS MINE!!!!

Man aren't you a wonderful friend.
