Re: New member truck pics
Thanks! To start with it has 9 leafs on each side in the rear so that is going to get changed cause it rides like hell. Must have been a heavy half. Next up will be a limited slip so I wear the rear tires evenly
Then just some small things to make it more of a comfortable cruiser, interior work and find all the squeaks and rattles. Ill post some engine shots later. |

Re: New member truck pics

Re: New member truck pics
Nice! I love the 79 trim on the older trucks. if its a true 76 the box or box side is not original. I dont think the fuel door came out until 79.

Re: New member truck pics
Thanks everyone! I dont plan on lowering it much but the heavy half rear leaves have to go! The truck is a 1976 with dual fuel tanks. You guys are right about the fuel doors thou, so its had some work done to it. Unfortunately I dont have much history on it. The original paint is a minty green.

Re: New member truck pics
How does it ride with the heavy leaf springs? I want to swap my 1/2 ton leafs out for 3/4 ton/heavy half springs.

Re: New member truck pics
Mine has 8 leaves per side with 1 overload spring underneath. The ride is super stiff, hammers the truck over every bump or expansion joint. But if you really need to haul its nice. I had a load of sheet rock even with the box sides and the truck was sitting level! Its a rare occasion I need something to haul that much weight so i'm going for ride comfort so I can drive it more.

Welcome! Nice truck. But it's not all original Chevrolet never painted the rally wheels black.
Please repaint them back to metallic silver. Thank you. |

Re: New member truck pics
Very nice truck you have. I thought 1976 truck beds came with the gas cap on the outside without the door which I thought came out as a 1979 change. Either way its a keeper.
