Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
OutlawZ,I have been looking for a truck like thay for a daily driver for the wife and I .......her dad had a 72 longbed bought new in 72 and later got rid of it,was blue/white and looked much like yours. I love seeing deluxe trimmed longbed trucks in great shape.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
moved some stuff around and getting ready to clean it all out of extra parts so I can remove the cab fromthe frame for hopefully the last time and finally finish up the suspension for the last time. I have more body work to do on the bed sides,strip the inner bed sides and floor,weld some more on the floor and get my scoop finally bonded tot he hood, I have a few more ideas/mods to do to the rad support so more pics will be posted doon.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
I know I should be tied up and whipped for allowing the surface rust to start on the bare metal surfaces.
I have 2-3 options now as I sit. I have a complete low mileage 350 that I already had checked out after disasembleing and found hardly any cylinder wall taper or wear so a hone job was done and the crank even polished so pistons/bearings/rings/cam/and a set of heads and intake need purchased to get a start. I also have a very low,mileage 305 that runs spot on and could be an engine I could pull out of the camaro its in and build the 350 for the camaro for a little street machine. I also have a running 400 small block,with some cylinder wear and not sure on current bore yet. It had been rebuilt at one time and ran good but I dont know if the previuos build had the cylinders bored out .030 or .040 or worse. I ran a .040 flat top 408 with hyd cam double hump heads with port work,chamber work and stainless step down stem swirl cut manely valves and it was stout which has me hooked on 400s. I could also mix and match by building a destroked 377 with a 400 block and 350 crank or even a 383 or so with the 400 crank in the 350 block. I guess I need to see which is more feasilbe,because that Camaro is in complete driveable shape but definatley needs power under the hood.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
This was the first truck I bought way back in 1989. It was on old gas truck with a worn out 350, but the body was in excellent shape ( $1500 ). It was originally white, but was painted with a cheap blue paint. I had it painted back to the original white---the interior paint was excellent except for the drivers door so I only had the inside of the doors repainted.
I rebuilt a small-block 400 with a mild rv cam and some 202 heads. It runs pretty good. I changed out the 3.08 gears for some 3.42's and put some hedman headers on it. At the time, I was working at an auto glass shop and we put a power window kit in it and deleted the vent windows. The glass is laminated glass ( tint in between two sheets of glass ) that we custom cut. The side markers are from an early nineties chevy van and the gas cap is a one off made by a good friend of mine. Although I have a few trucks, this one will always be the favorite!! It has been sitting in the barn for a couple of years because the trans leaks and the rear main seal needs to be replaced. I pulled it out today and washed it. I charged the battery and pumped the gas once and she fired right up!! Some pics are before I washed it.
