oh jeesh - i dont think that counts, bloo....
the boyfriend cant nominate the girlfriend's truck...

thats biased!
i'm sure there are much better examples of factory restorations out there....
maybe one of CPNE's trucks or GMCPaul's trucks, or maybe Huck's truck?
if i had to nominate someone myself, i would nominate CPNE, cause i'm sure that as nutty as he is with "by-the-book" info, he surely has one or two pristine classic trucks in his possession! (thats a compliment, CPNE!)

thanks, bloo -- i really appreciate the unnecessary nomination!
ciao!

jewels.

p.s. i'm back --- six months of no computer is enough to drive you batty.... picked up an old laptop ready for linux.... watch out truck board, here i come!

Blue_71 · 01-01-2005, 02:34 AM

hey now!! that just means it'd be a biased vote so i can do the voting.. er um i mean um... i didnt say that!!!!

**402Bowtie** · 01-01-2005, 03:22 PM

I think this is the sweetest truck...and I love the color! I am hoping my k20 will look as nice as it someday. I think the most noticeable thing that is not stock are the wheels...here are some pics.

RShaips · 01-07-2005, 09:06 PM

I am humbled by your nomination 96Blzer! your truck looks great, and much more stock than mine. Mine looks stock at a glance until you notice that it has been lowered with a 2/4 drop,gas tank moved,72 sport mirrors,thats what you can see. Its a 67 with a 71 frame, power disc brakes, power steering,and a very strong 383 Stroker motor. My truck started life as a 67 LWB, 283 with a power glide. I was going to restore it, then I bought a 72 4WD that was a rust bucket but had a nice 383 Stroker Motor in it. Then I was going to put this frame and motor under my 67 until I came across a 71 SWB frame and bed for $500.00. So after about 2 years this is what I ended up with. I have always been into 4x4's and I absolutely love that 402 Bowtie truck! Still to do on my truck is 700R to replace the powerglide and a stereo. I can't post pics so I will send them to the Boss

A Wolf in Sheeps clothing, huh? Well, to me it looks pretty much stock and I didn't realize it had so much work done to it.

IMHO it's a real nice truck RS.
