My new toy!!
« on: September 23, 2009, 11:18:39 pm »
i went to California last week and drove home my new toy.  It's a 1975 Cheyenne short wide that is just about done.  It has all original body panels, no rust, recent paint.  Also complete new custom interior, leather dash pad and headliner, new matching door panels and seat covers.  Rebuilt 383 and 400 trans. 373 rears.  New polished intake, ceramic headers and carb.  American Torque Thrusts.  It's an air truck but needs the air hooked up and a couple of minor things.  I'll probably sell my 78 short wide Silverado now.  Here are some pics of the new truck.

Yes Vile, I drove it home (700 miles) from California last week - and good eye low budget, the steering wheel is on backwards.  The guy I bought it from was a big guy and I'm not small so it will stay that way.  I got it for less than I had budgeted for my 78 Silverado, so it was a no brainer.  Now the hard part, do I keep the 78 loaded Silverado or not - I already have my wife's vote - you can imagine what it is!!  Thanks for the kind words guys.

Keep the 78 and just take your time with the build, and drive the wheels off the 75 ;)

Looks like its time to change your Avatar. If the car in your avatar now is what I think it is, Id really rather have it. Sorry guys, there is one car that I love more than any other car in existance>>>>66 Chevelle. When it comes to that car, things I have that are not for sale, immediately come open for discussion.
