Here is my Dads 1969 CST/10 Chevrolet Pick Up.  He has had the truck since 1971 when it was totaled.  The truck was fixed and used as a work truck for the family business.  It was green and had a 307ci V8 and a 3 speed manual trans (3 on the tree).  Later the 307 was sold and a 402ci big block was put in.  Shortly after the big block swap my dad got tired of shifting gears so he put a Turbo 400 in the 3 speeds place.  At the same time he changed the rear end to a 12 bolt posi with 3.08:1 gear ratio.  Now powering the truck is a strong 427cid Rat Motor.
Over the years he has many of the factory options on the truck.  It has power stearing, cruise control, factory air conditioning, power windows, power disk brakes, 5 lug wheels, factory tach, and a factory vacuum guage (very rare)
The engine is a 1969 Chevy 427ci big block rat.  It has a Lunanti 292 Bracket cam 230*/230* @ .050 with .544 lift intake and exaust, Crane full roller rocker arms, Edelbrock intake from an early 454, Pete Jackson Gear Drive, 10.25:1 compression, K&N filter, Holley 3310 Vacuum secondary 780cfm carb, HEI ignition, factory heads have been ported and matched, Jet-Hot coated headers, and an early set of Micky Thompson valve covers.  The bore is stock and the whole engine had very little wear.  TH-400 with manual/auto valve body and B&M 2500 stall
See the new bed!!
Update: The truck has been going through a number of changes recently.  It now sports a fleetside box, 1 piece side windows, Pioneer CD player, drop spindles and springs, and more!! It looks a lot different and I will also be adding new photos very soon so come back see what she looks like now!!
