73 454 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigblockorange · 03-04-2007, 07:05 PM

Hey just wanted to show you guys my latest parts chaser. Everything looks to be factory but the wheels 145k on the OD. I'll fix her up some bed cover and wheels. The 454 and 400 work good A/C kicks on. It was an old man from Cal. he ordered it new to pull a camper. BBO Update I will be cutting this truck to make a trailer PM me if you want anything off of her!!

Restrorob · 03-04-2007, 07:48 PM

WOW....Thats a clean looking truck for it's age. You have a super start already, Wished mine had looked that good before I started.

Post some pics. as you fix it up !

Nice looking Parts runner. I too own an original 73 454 truck. I have pics in the link on my sig if you want to check it out.

Sweet keep her looking good and she will treat you right. I would not wanna be paying for gas though...... I am guessing it is rust free being from CAL and all.

Nice truck!

That is hands down the finest looking truck I've ever seen.

I almost went, but I'll have to wait until I have a complete list of the parts I'll need... and the cash to buy them. I may go to the fall event. My neighbor is building a 78 F150 and we both need a ton of parts. I hope to find all the rust-free body parts that I need and bring them home all at once, avoiding the hassles of shipping charges, poorly made mail-order parts and damage claims. The trip will pay for itself ten times over.
