I got hitched in my 86! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

motiveauto · 07-06-2010, 11:29 PM

I got married this weekend. Drove to the church in my truck and I cruised on out of there with my wife riding in the middle next to me. Ive owned the truck for 12 years, drove it in high school when my wife and I started dating (we even had our first date in it!), drove it to college, and finally rebuilt it when I graduated. Its been done for about 4 years now, Ive put about about 25,000 miles on it since then. Ive turned every single bolt on this truck myself and painted it too. I figured you guys would appreciate it.

Chionos GMs · 07-06-2010, 11:53 PM

Got anymore pics of your truck? Looks really nice!!

3r!c84 · 07-07-2010, 12:08 AM

DBLSPRT68 · 07-07-2010, 01:25 AM

That's very cool!!!!! When you get a chance

..... post up some more pics. Looks real nice.

motiveauto · 07-07-2010, 11:03 AM

big10ratrod77 · 07-07-2010, 11:10 AM

congrats man, hey what color is your truck?

Low87 · 07-07-2010, 11:11 AM

Great story! I got engaged right next to my '87.

thirdstreettito · 07-07-2010, 11:11 AM

Congrats! Is that Ford Grabber blue?

motiveauto · 07-07-2010, 11:36 AM

its actually an old cavalier color from the early nineties. I forget the name, but it was a single stage paint from Nason.

68longhorn · 07-07-2010, 12:02 PM

Congrats on the marriage and the truck! When I got married my wife and I drove off in my 86 with cans in tow.

ebgwd · 07-07-2010, 08:29 PM

Congrats on the wife and truck. Looks great.
I inherited an 86 from my father-n-law a few weeks ago.
It is blue, too. What engine is in yours? Manual shift?
Mine is 3 on the column. Learning that was a trip.
Got it home fine (80 miles) on my first drive.
Once in the driveway it locked up in first gear and had to sit there till I read how to get it out of first the next day. Looking forward to rebuilding and repainting it too.
How 'bout some more photos of the front and inside.
Thanks for sharing.

big10ratrod77 · 07-07-2010, 09:06 PM

i thought it might be close to the color richard petty ust to paint his old race cars. but its a perty truck man congrats

motiveauto · 07-07-2010, 09:14 PM

The interior is the only thing thats not really finished. I got a new bench out of my buddys wrecked dump truck and I put on some lmc door panels, waiting to find a new dash.

Chionos GMs · 07-07-2010, 09:29 PM

What engine is it? Is there any power adders? Im still drooling

motiveauto · 07-07-2010, 09:35 PM

I blew up the first three I had in there, (the original, one out of an old modified car, and another stocker) so I screwed this one together myself. Its a 75 small block with just a clean up bore, a valve job, keith black pistons, performer cam, intake, and carb with some cheap headers. Ive got 2.5 pipes with flowmasters and thats about it. The motor is nothing special but it moves pretty good for an old pickup. I plan on dropping a diesel in a few years, either duramax or cummins...whatever i find first.

Chionos GMs · 07-07-2010, 10:20 PM

They would be sweet and I would be drooling so much I would slip out of my chair

Congrats.....and nice truck. There are at least a couple of guys on this forum whom would've advised to heed the sign regarding matrimony.

Savage · 07-07-2010, 10:52 PM
