Here are a few pictures from the trip for you all to enjoy. Truck Pictures The body is really solid and the engine seems to run well except for some white smoke coming out of the tailpipe. It also needs some brake work, but all in all I think we have a great project to work with. The plan is to keep the truck as original as possible and rebuild it into a solid driver. Thanks in advance for the help we'll need in the future! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | gjberche, What a beauty.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

i'd have to agree with the "just clean it up" approach. you'd be suprised at how much more attention a nicely kept original gets. looks very solid so you've got a great place to start no matter what direction you decide to go with it.

Right now we need to power-wash all the dirt and crud on the truck and get the brakes working the way they should. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 311 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 311 | I wish mine had been in that good of condition.

Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.
