Another new guy from Alabama
« on: March 30, 2009, 02:52:59 pm »
This looks like the place to be for ‘73-’87 Chevy Pickup trucks.

I’ve had this one for a bit over 10 years. He simply goes by the name of “Chuck.”

1978 model, that was rebuilt at some point in his life. 350 4bbl. TH350 trans. Unknown miles.

He might not look the best, but he’s earned his stripes over the years. Haven’t had to do much to him over the years; a driver’s side window regulator and a Moon Steering wheel is pretty much all he’s needed, besides oil changes and a bunch of gas.

He’s moved my weird stuff many times.



He’s been to Talladega many times.



He has a bunch of friends the wife and I collectively call “the fleet.” (Not shown: ‘68 Impala, ‘00 Cougar, or the newest member: ‘01 SS Tango jetboat.)



Looking forward to discussing the finer points of these great old trucks.

Welcome aboard from New Hampshaa.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
