Whats up from the desert of Iraq - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DropYurz · 05-22-2010, 02:00 PM

Just stopping by to say whats up from the sandbox. Upon return I plan on getting my 57 on the road. It was left to the wife and me by my father in law who passed last June. Our plan was to drop the engine in last July but did not get the opportunity. He rebuilt the engine (350) and dropped a lot of goodies in there. The motor has been sitting in the garage covered for over a year now so I know I will have to go back inside to ensure everything is good to go. The truck has been out side in the weather for a while so mainly surface rust and a couple bumps needing repair.

Still have a few months here and plan on hitting it hard and heavy upon return. Alright gotta roll for now. Holla at yall later...
