Pictures of my new '69 4X4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been away for a bit...trying to find a replacement for the '69 longbed my son totaled about 6 months ago. Here's the results of my search.

Ken's New '69 Truck

I've still need to get the A/C connected as well do some interior work and paint before it's finished. The motor is a rebuilt 95 throttle body fuel injected 350. The injectors are still there so yes it's computer controlled. The trans is a rebuilt TH350, the transfer case a rebuilt 205 transfer case, the frontend a rebuilt Dana 44 with posi added during the rebuild and the rear end is a 14 bolt rear which was also rebuilt (both front and reard are 1 ton). The front has disc brakes the rear has drums. It has all new lines, master cyclinder, proportioning valve and booster.

Let me know what you think....Ken

i think that the tbi put too many wires and lines in the engine compartment. i really like the simplicity of working on these old truck because you can actually see what you are working on and have room to move. oh well the fuel injection must be nice atleast. nice ride. Steve

Good looking truck....

Cal69Chevy · 05-29-2003, 07:51 PM

Got to agree with you Steve on the wires and how simplistic carb motors are...I do miss my 350 with a Qjet sitting on top...this is my first with a TBI and the jury is still out. Also, I haven't really cleaned up the wires and such yet...but no doubt about it there are more. The other thing I don't like about this motor is where the compressor is located. I'll have to route the lines across the shroud like they do in blazers and newer trucks. It looks bad. It's either that or by a boat load of new brackets....the like of which I don't even know exist for this motor/accessories.

Thanks for your comments....Ken
