This truck was another one of my toys. I bought it in '98 for $1350. All I put into it was a clutch and tires(it liked to burn them off). It sports a 350 with a 4 bolt main and a Q-Jet carb. It original 3-on-the-tree was converted to the floor via a Hurst Indy pickup truck shifter.The truck was a beast. It ran great and still managed to get 10-15 mpg(depending on how secondary happy the driver was).
UPDATE:1/16/01 I am depressed and wish I had this yet :-(

This is the lovely piece of vintage Chevy that I drive around right now. It also has a 350 with a 4bbl carb. BUT...
I got lame and bought an automatic this time.The shift-kitted TH350 is one nice tranny though(despite me not being a big automatic fan). This one is a 4x4, 1976 to be exact. It has a 3 inch body lift (ugh!) and 31x10.50x15s. It doesn't run too bad, but has a bad cam in it. It has dual super turbos exiting from the side. It has the most miserable paint job I have ever seen. It was spray painted, but the guy must've been drunk or something when he did it. Any way, it make a 150 mile run to school and back every week, so it's served it's time well. It only has 127K on it, but the way the motor runs would lead one to think otherwise. This truck has been taken apart since this picture was taken. The read the info about the truck below to find out what was done to this one. The cab from this truck is in pretty good shape, believe it or not. The only real problem with it it the fact that the windshield is starting to frost in the middle where the antenna connector is and the rocker panels could use a replacing. It MUST be painted a different color. Now that I have an extra stepside bed laying around that's in perfect shape I will have to find some parts and put the stepside back together.
UPDATE: (Early March)This truck has been completely stripped in the past 3 weeks. The engine has been replaced by the engine for the 79 stepside as was the transmission and transfer case and cab. All parts listed above came from the stepside. The front end came off of a 79 4x2 that I had so the truck now has a really funky color scheme. The body lift was removed from the front half of the truck but the bed still has it. I will post pictures of it shortly.
UPDATE #2:(4/11/99)It is finished! The engine and tranny are in. The fulltime 4x4 transfer case is gone and the cab is mounted. I am now driving it around once again. It is ugly as anything, but it's a Chevy!!!! Additions include A new driveshaft and 2 1/2" 40 Series 2 chamber Flowmasters! Pictures to come soon.

This was my really cool 1979 Chevy Stepside 4x4 w/out the 307 in it. The pictures I will show on here later will tell the entire story. Also due to other unfortunate circumstances the truck is now in peices and the engine/tranny/transfer case/cab are now on the above truck.
UPDATE:(Early March)This truck is no more. Frame and axles is all :-( Thanks a lot Jeep Woman(the one who I hit)

This is my buddy Dieter's truck. It has a 250 inline 6, but there is a 355 waiting to go in it! It's a '68 C-10 with a 3 speed soon to be replaced by an automatic. No one ever said that straight sixes couldn't burn some serious rubber.

This is what she looks like now. YUCK! Oh well, it is fast for a truck. I took it to Maple Grove and ran a pair of 16s with it. Not bad for 4700 pounds and stick. One was a 16.83 the other was a 16.78 or something like that. It burns some serious rubber too! More pictures to come

MORE TRUCKS STILL!
