New guy from Wisconsin

[mike maule]

I just found this forum and it is great. I have 2 620s. The first one I bought 1 year ago is a sky blue 5spd long box with 75,000 2 owner miles. It has some rust but not to bad. I have work to do on the floor boards, box seams, and replace the fenders. I have had the smog head reworked with an Isky cam, weber carb, and a header. I am restoring the chassis,brakes, steering parts as well.The second truck I just got a month ago was off Craigslist was a Cali truck parked in a garage since 1984. The truck has 62,000 1 owner miles, a junk engine, 5sp, factory A/C, and is a short box. The engine was replaced at one time with a l18b that now is frozen up. I took off the head and found head gasket failed filling the clyinders with anti freeze. I have put pb blaster in clyinders and only 2 have let it past the rings. I have posted an ad in parts wanted for missing A/C parts and will have many questions on it. I have tried to post pictures, but have failed!!! If any body can help with that problem please contact me. I have a photobucket account if that helps. Thanks for any and all help Mike

Hi, Here are 2 pictures of the long box, first one with new rims, second one the day I drove it home. I am getting a computer guy over to help me post better before I make a fool of myself!!

Where did you get the rims?

[mike maule]

Got them off craigslist they were on a chevy luv show truck. The guy said it was 1 of 8 built with a small block chevy from the factory. P.S. my wife hates craigslist!!!!

Did you sell this truck on Craigslist?  I think that I saw it listed a couple months ago....
