Stoked that someone loves this thing, it was my baby for a lotta years. The truck had the stock 283 when I bought it, with 99300 miles. It had never had anything but a cabover camper in the bed when I bought it out of a field. The engine in it now came out of a buddy's towrig. It was a mid 80's Chev dually that had been a diesel originally. He'd got it from some hotrodder in Oly who built it to haul his showcars around. The story was it was a 454--but I'd bet noone has ever researched the #'s. An old biker/mountain man friend of mine swapped it in while I was at work one day for surprise. He hacked up the fraimrails a bit and made swiss cheese out of the motormounts but they've never let go. The big ol' girl really moved in her day, could pull right into traffic with a unit of plywood in the back. When It was first together it would get squirrelly at 50 by hittin the secondaries. We painted it in a 1 car garage at night in 30 degree weather with a hotplate for heat.....no joke. The walls were 2 feet away and cieling 16" taller than the truck. Just doubled up on the hardener. It's Ford Windsor white:redneck::haha:. Don't have too many pictures, just alot of memories. I'll see what I can dig up. Oh yeah--the hippy stickers......I followed the Dead around fer a couple years way back in the day.....color me a hippy.:flipoff::beer:

I told the ol lady I had to take a leak. I somehow felt like chrome and aluminum after being relieved. :beer:

Just a small update. I havent dont much to the rig other than drive it. Had to change the alternator so I swapped to a one wire setup. I got a pair of chrome headers for it but have not had a chance to install them yet.

My new top priority for this rig is to get it wired up for a trailer plug so it can tow a pimp jetboat.
Got the bumper and intake on as soon as I got home form the swapmeet.

:awesomework:

Good 'ol Gert!!! Glad to see it's treatin' ya well...

Seats pretty nice actually. It had one seam in the middle of the bottom cushion that was starting to bust the stitch loose. It hadnt been driven that way, looked like it just split from age. I didnt want it to spread and chew up the foam since the foam was in perfect shape, so I put a old farmer style seat cover on it. That way I can take it over to pops some day and stitch up a new cover.
