I'm back! To the 73-87 side at least ;) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

texasfunk · 03-20-2011, 05:48 PM

I was sitting atthe drive through last night around 9:30 and was scanning through CL when I saw something I couldn't believe.. Called the guy..went to look at it around 10..picked it up this morning. What was it? A 79 SWB with minimal rust. Tach cluster..and a 12 bolt posi! For 200 bucks! Even got a title! Have been wanting to build a round eye for some time and boom! This popped up!

Only eat through on entire body

Personally I think it was a steal!!

Good deal.... reminds me of the 78short bed factory sport truck (sport bumpers, tach dash, bucket seats, and sport mirrors) that I could have had for about $1000 if I was looking for a project and not a daily driver.

Nice truck funk, Whats that like your 10th square

. I also just got back into another square bout 2 weeks ago. I went all the way to lubbock to pick up a 82 swb silverado in awesome condition for only 700. Gotta love Craigslist. Good luck with the square bud!

Lol!! To be exact. Need one more for 10

. And I know! I have been hunting and hunting for weeks after I sold my cutlass for a project. There were a few under 1000 and I got beat every time! My g/f was just telling me a few hours before that I need to get a 73-80 to start with..easier then converting. And that another will come up soon (lost out to a 86 for 400 2 days earlier)...was like fate!! Lol!

And thanks prairie!

Congrats man! I know your excited about getting a round eye. What's the plans for this one? All out or a driver?

texasfunk · 03-21-2011, 01:21 PM

Thanks bud! An all out driver? Lol! Plan on stock two tone. But with a silver middle and top..and blue for the main. 22's and on the ground. I want to get some custom big 10 decals made with some lime green as the chrome that goes around the body will have a green pinstripe instead of the black. 73 grille...hmmm. 454 for sure..and not set on an interior color yet. I have had almost defy aspect of my "perfect" round eye planned out for over a year. So this is Gunna be a good one!!

I can't wait! The color scheme though...seems kinda familiar...I think I see a pattern here.

texasfunk · 03-21-2011, 04:09 PM

Lol!!! I have a ton of that paint left. An it is a very expensive brand. So might as well use it!!!!!
