so. friday night i received a phone call from a friend of mine, asking what year my chevy truck was, to which i replied a '69.
he went on to say something along the lines of, "well, i have a '69 GMC here, with a 307, and a 3 speed on the column...100 bucks and it's yours."
apparently, his neighbor asked my friend if he knew anyone who'd want to buy the '69 for a hundred dollars. he instantly thought of me.
so, saturday morning, we struck a deal.
the story goes that Jerry Wilcox bought the truck new in May, 1969, in Middletown, Ohio. then moved to Rhinelander, Wisconsin. which is where i live. he then sold the truck to Mr. Luber's dad, who then gave the truck to Mr. Luber, whom i bought it from. it includes all the original paper work, and it was driven to my house, down the highway. shhh...haha.
1969 K20 , with a '67 front clip. fleetside. 292, 3x1 offy, headers. sm465 4spd. getting put back together, almost ready for paint. doing it all myself. 19 and lovin' it.
right now, plans are to divert attention from the K20, to this one.
since it's a 307, and a 3 speed, coupled with 3.07 gears...i'm thinking it'll make a nice little driver, after everything is made solid.
probably leave the engine mostly stock, except for maybe a set of headers, just to get her to breath a little bit better. and sound sweet through a set of glasspacks. bwahaha.
after that...it's a new coat of green, along with the addition of a white roof.
yup, thats about it. just a nice little decent driver, that won't burn too much gas.
and since my college classes are ending in 2 weeks, i will have quite a bit of time, especially since i have the new project jitters at the moment...talk about ambition!
thanks for the compliments guys, i think i made off like a bandit. !
