I think 68' Mike hates my guts now. ^^^

You mean I can't come up on Friday? Might be some disappointed people if I don't bring "my meat" lol

Umm, I didn't say I hated your guts...

Those are some cool names, but I think I'm going to name her "Chestnut" and not because I'm "Pamela Anderson" fanatic,

but because it was parked under a walnut tree since 91' and every-time I slam the hood a nut falls out, plus chestnut sounds better than walnut.

I'm a chestnut,too,but it sounds like a nutcracker to me.

68 TT · 09-26-2012, 09:28 PM

Nice score. Great find on a nice survivor truck.

That thing is just begging for a T-5 swap.

Okay okay, now that our big C/10 bash is over, I finally had a chance to play with it a little, in a nut shell (no pun intended)

I changed the pedals, the markers, put on the deluxe horn cap, choke delete, exterior mirrors and of course had the wife paint the license plates. Here a couple of pics......

**CC69Rat** · 10-17-2012, 12:44 PM

Awesome patina on that thing.. I love it.

VA72C10 · 10-17-2012, 01:02 PM

Looking good!

What are the plans for it?

murguia · 10-17-2012, 05:39 PM

Plans: I plan to get it home and put her away for a bit, until I get a break from school
Then: I plan to put a 3"/5" drop, the stock steelies back on, flowmaster exhaust, tune up and down the road swap her out to an automatic 700R4

I love the truck as is, just going to to a couple of things and driver her as is for a bit

In my previous post I mean to say, "Probably less than what I paid him for it" haha sorry It's been a long day
