The memories those rear tires bring back! Seems like every old truck I've ever bought had the 70's- 80's look!

Looks like a wonderful project!

Hey, I like that cow catcher on the front. I bet it will come in handy for pushing stalled chevys off the road! John

Ya Its a major project! My dad bought it about 18 years ago for $450 and believe it or not all it needed to be driveable was a new transmision. My dad has since given it to me and I plan on building somthing with enough power to blow the doors off some of the local camero's and chevelle's!
