Hello All! New guy from SoCal
« on: January 28, 2015, 10:35:22 pm »
Hello everyone! I just signed up and look forward to bring part of the community.  I feel so very fortunate to have come across such a wealth of information and fellow squarebody fans. I recently picked up a little project truck I will be working on in my spare time. She's a '79 Chevy long bed and needs a LOT of love. Tons of rust and oddities. It was originally a diesel but currently has a 307 Olds in it.  Gonna be interesting ;D

Welcome from CA. Looks like the truck has seen better days. I'm sure you will get her fixed up nice and clean.

Thanks friends.  I put some later model wheel/tire takeoffs on yesterday so at least she's a roller now.  The cab is going down to bare metal over the next few days so I'll really get to see what I'm working with.

I'm guessing it is "Slipstream"
