Wow, great truck for a great price !!

While I'm rebuilding mine, I bought an old 1976 Chevy truck. It's RUSTY as can be, but everything works and it drives nice. Paid $400 for it and I'll sell it when I'm done.

You got a great truck for the money !!

      Are you keeping the 250 I6 in it ?  That would make a great daily driver for getting around.  Nice find and yes, can not beat $350.00 for a running truck.

I wouldnt say rust free. the rocker panels and floor boards are pretty bad, but thanks for the kind words!

Title: new tires, slowly making progress(:
Post by: 84chvy on March 19, 2012, 10:55:54 pm
got my new tires and changed the transmission fluid, filter and gasket. trans still slipping a bit but for a truck that set  for 8 years and all i did was drove it around the block i think as it drives the slipping will dissapear. all i need now is to put a set of valve cover gaskets and blinker bulbs and i am ROAD READY(;

     Good luck, hopefully it is ok and not needing a rebuild.
