Thanks for all the kind words everyone. My chevy is running semi stock it has a 235 from a 56 original 3Speed And rear end but i am getting a gear set from chevy duty to put 3.55's in the rear so i can take some paved roads. I'm lucky to be marrying a great girl she understands the addiction i have (her dad gave her a 1967 Camaro he used to race) So she allowes me to spend my money on it. I hope its going to be a great trip when my dad first got it and we checked everything out we got it running and took it down a paved county road (Small Backwoods Town In North Dakota Also Friends with local Police Officer) and took it for a drive with little or no brakes Bad Master And wheel Cylinders but all fixed now my grin was four miles wide if you ask my dad nothing like shifting through three gears while that 6 just purrs under the hood.
