Living out in the dry west I sometimes forget how bad everything rots back east until I see a picture like your parts truck or go home to visit Long Island. I never knew a piece of exhaust could be unbolted from a manifold without the studs shearing off before I moved.

Like I said I chose this truck because the frame was so nice in fact one of my weirdo friends stairs at it when he stops by he just can't get over how clean all the parts are under it plus he's a little off. So in the beginning I told you I wanted a utility body and we all know tools are heavy! So I took all the heavy suspension out of the dump and rebuilt it all with bushings center pins new bolts and shackles oh and I also did LMC body mounts and hard were at some point. I got a bed off eBay and stretched the rear rails to fit it and that made room for a Blazer 31 gallon tank
did the back of the cab real quick wile the bed was off btw enamel Belo 40 bad idea epic fail! Lol all good
also ran 3/8 aluminum fuel line
I want to build a 87 C30 single rear wheel regular cab pickup or C20 5.7 tbi and o/d trans painted yellow with all the proper lettering for my business, similar to the chase trucks were in Brooklyn when I was a kid. Hard to find anything close to solid here in northeast
When the utility body got delivered my John Deere 750 needed a clutch well still dose so geeing it off the trailer was not easy. Putting it on the trunk by myself damn near in possible! But I pulled it off with some red neck engineering
there is my other helper Buddy
also got a tailgate off of the roof of my uncle's old shop and it turns out it's been there since the early 70s and came off his 61 Chevy that was his first company truck when he opened in 68
still haven'thooked up the tank lol
I know all about the rot I'm a body man in Jersey lol go somewhere south and get one
So when I get back to the project soon hopefully. I want to finish my 78 Cutlass W-31 first I'm thinking the truck needs to become a REO bravada W-30 if your an olds guy you get it lol I have a 455 that I took out of my 87 I can detune and a jm-14 cam and 2 bop th400s and I can make the right emblems
