Chevy truck post

Thought I would start a truck post since RebStew just bought a 80's model chevy truck. I just picked on up myself.


Picked up this truck in Indy this past weekend. 73 model 3/4 ton. Runs and drives. Doesn't want to start when its cold because of the bad gas. 454, turbo 400. Tilit column and ac. The prvious owner installed cruise control on it also.

I also talked to a framer who also has some cars. He has a crew cab chevy truck. I called him the other day and he said it was for sale. I need to go back and look at it. I've seen it before. I thought he sold the engine and trans out of it but it still has the drive train.

you were in Indy and didn't call or stop by? thought we were buddies? I just bought a 73 Chevy 1/2 ton parts truck on Thanksgiving . I'm going to use the engine, tranny & rear end for my daily 84 chevy 1/2 ton short bed

I completely forgot about stopping by. What exit are you at? I was trying to get it and get home. I had a feeling I was going to have problems coming home. It road rough. I65 from Louisville down to glasgow is horrible. Is that truck a V8? Glad you found an egine and trans and rear end.You'll probably get better gas mileage that my 3/4 ton.

exit 101. yes, the 73 has a 350, with turbo 350, gonna put them in my 84 when it get warmer then probably sell the cab and doghouse

I have a buddy who has a step chevy truck. He says he wants to restore the truck. he partially wrecked it back in the fall. Let me know if you want to seel the doghouse and cab. He might be interested.

I'll be selling the doghouse & cab in the spring when it's warmer. both are in great shape and I have a clear title

just figured i would post a picture of my 73 gmc. 3/4 ton 454 bull dog truck with 4.11

does anyone know where i can find me a big block motor for sale.

looks like a good work horse you found. you gonna keep it or fix it and sell it?

I'm going to keep it. Use it around the farm a little bit. I need to pull the valve covers off and check the rocker arms and stuff.
