izzo Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 haha, yeah right. No offense, everyone says that. That thing will be sitting for another 25 years, then to the crusher it goes :( in 25 years he could have done something with it, thats a looooong time.

bonvo Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 dude thats beautiful im gonna put a 350 in it as soon as i can simply cause the old 6 is just that an old 6 i may snag that carb set up from you depending on funds i also love how my truck is getting more attention on ratsun then the chevy truck forum im on Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Btw bonvo, i wasn't being serious when i said he would never get to it. I was just trying to convince him to trade :D I really like these old Chevs man, you got a cool pickup. Cool thing is, once you guys get up here you can drive the 610 and work on that. You planning on doin some stuff to it this summer? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 actually im hoping to get it road worthy before the move so that i can drive it up vs loading it on a trailer the idea is to have this as my driver in the winter and drive the datto in the summer im thinking this truck is going to end up with k5 running gear under it Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 The K5 swap should make you look like a La Pine local :P . Don't forget the gun rack. Oregonians, typically, don't love Californian transplants. This should go a long way to keep you under the radar. Getting it running is a great idea. Moving is hassle enough without having to tow a few projects. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 yeah i figured since we already have to tow my dads projects if i can get at least one up there it will make things easier it runs just doesnt stop and non of the electrial works gonna work on her today moatly little stuff due to lack of funds (atm) but somthing is better then nothing Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 i was on my way to my uncles house the other day and it dawned on me that i have 90% of what i need to get this thing running and driving i have all the hydrolic brake parts i have miles of wire and a coil to make it fire so this project will be getting some work done in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 awesome! very cool, glad to see this project get going again. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 might as well update lol i put a known good coil in it and found that the only thing left preventing it from firing was the condencer is bad buying a new one soon then its getting a brake overhaul Quote Link to comment
