yes it would look good slammed someone needs to buy it !!

[VA72C10]

Oh, and I got the pics up for you on the other post

[67cheby]

always helping me out... thanks man !!

[LEEVON]

Nice trade. I guess that would have the nearly mythical NP833 o/d trans which isn't documented behind a 4.3L? That's even cooler. Does the air blow cold?

I want it! May be seeing you this weekend...

[67cheby]

it has it on the spid !!, no the air isnt cold, customer says it just needs charged but hey thats what they all say, i have original title and original contract

[FRENCHBLUE72]

That looks like paint money right there.. Very nice looking truck I had an 87 same excat set-up.

[Drummerboy]

Looking good!

i heared some people charge the aircondition system with propane , its cheaper and does the same thing , its more flamable though

ummm yes it probably would be paint money if i owned the carlot......but i dont just a lowly salesman , but maybe if i can sell it the commission can go towards my paint job !!!!

[Slick67]

I think it would look great.........sittin in my driveway!!!!! Nice score. Does this mean parts for your truck?!?

[67cheby]

If it had a 327 in it!! Hope you find the perfect buyer for it, like a boardmember, then we can watch it change into a really nice truck!

[67cheby]

i am with you although i wouldnt change out the 4.3, this thing is the ultimate cruiser , the 3 speed with overdrive makes it feel like it has a little power and the overdrive and the 3.08 gears make it glide down the road, it is really pretty cool, i had no idea you could even get a 4.3 in one of these trucks

[72k5zl1]

the 85 looks gooood! great start for someone.

[superflysteiny]

Were are the new pics brother.

[67cheby]

i have hit a brick wall on the funding side......there will be some more progress pics this week, i might have to just put it in primer for now and bring it home from the body shop !! we will see trying to get a quote from my body guy to just rough in the rest of the bodywork paint the inside of the cab and firewall and shoot some flat silver on the outside so i can get it put together and drive it ! all of the fab work ate up my paint budget !!

[superflysteiny]

Thats ok they always cost more then what you think they are going to cost. I try to budget my builds but it never works. I always spend 15 to 20% more than what I budget for. Keep up the good work.

[67cheby]

thanks , just plugging away , i am still making forward progress just not a the rate i would like

[superflysteiny]

I have been there. When you run out of money you run out of money. To bad it does not grow on trees.

[es67chevy]

Hope you can keep moving forward. We need our NW Arkansas cruise this year!!!

[jasonhall]

Dude rock some primer it will still be bad a$$!

[72k5zl1]

drive it flat silver and get the bugs out of it!!

[watahyahknow]

I read an article in lowrider magazine (dont ask i just download that stuff for free)
Theres a school at PPG that teaches how to use there paints .
Maibe there willing to use youre truck as a teachingtool or demonstrationmodel , it couldnt hurt to ask them

the guy that gave the course was Paul Stoll hes a paint proffessor at ppg and might be the best guy to ask at PPG as he gives the course
