Get it moving on its own power. Then finish my 99 Z28 to sale for some porter built stuff.

Your patina truck looks better than my patina truck. But I'm keeping it like that. I'm fixing the stance and nice set of tires/rims and calling it a day.

FOSTER21 · 04-30-2014, 11:54 PM

I don't know if I'd call it patina, more like some jacka$$ with a da and a slide hammer!

FOSTER21 · 05-07-2014, 05:20 PM

Got a lil work done!! Gonna steam clean the frame with a lil white wall cleaner tonight

'68 Short Step · 05-07-2014, 11:57 PM

Very cool truck! lots of potential!

FOSTER21 · 05-08-2014, 08:47 AM

Got some pressure washing done last night. Apparently grease turns into asphalt over the period of 46 years!

Progress has been slow on the truck. I've been finishing my 99 Z28 to sell and fund the truck. Ordered a new radiator support and all the body bushing, and the support came in bent all to hell. Damn UPS!

**specialtyretail** · 07-24-2014, 03:53 PM

Don't you have a Keyparts warehouse there in Jonesboro? Thye might could help you with a core support.

FOSTER21 · 07-24-2014, 04:55 PM

They were to high and felt a lil flimsy

FOSTER21 · 11-06-2014, 04:54 PM
