my project, it's a '76 chevy scottsdale, I bought itwith help from family , we all put together some money, and I paid what I had saved from work. when I started it didn't have a motor or tranny, or interior,but it had been lowerd with spindals, and shackles, it was from cali so it was rust free. I had another '79 chevy that I drove for a good year before I took the 350 from it and put it into the stepside, I used it mostly as a parts truck from then

about a week after I bought it.

 

"Big Ten"

basicly, what it will look like.

when I first started doing body work on it.

 

 

filled in the cab seam, and took off the driprails

 

the 350 while it sat in the white truck.

 

shaved the front side marker lights..

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think the old engine had gaskets. at all.

 

filled in the post holes, not done yet though,

almost done with the body work.

 

 

 

 

finally got side windows in and mirros on again..having problems with the diver's side window regulater though..

 

pulling the motor for the stepside, I was surprised, I don't think that motor leaked at all, you could still see orange paint.....or not. hah definitly used a lot of degreaser cleaning it.

that sucked.
it was rainging that day.

 

the motor after cleaning , re gasketing, and paint. it allmost looks like it's worth something..

 

 

finaly putting the motor in.

 

 

 

 

IT RUNS!

finally go tthe part I was waiting on, I couldn't mount up the motor with stock manifolds, so I had to get headers to fit up to the 3 inch exuast from Summit Racing..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

someone was trying to sell this, they said it would make a good parts truck haha

new tail lights, mirrors and wheels.

15x10inch in the rear, 15X6 in the front cragars for 200 bucks on craigslist, they were mad ein 1986, some guy bought them new for a camaro project around 1987, and they didn't fit up, so he kept them in his garage, and just wanted to get rid of them.

 

 

the big block 4 core radiator

new valve covers, same ones, but new.

spark plug wire brackets that came with the valve covers.

 

 

 

 

gotta love christmas.

billet grill from LMC

new bezels

the truck with the new grill and bezels on.

 

had to get rid of the fan shroud, because of the tranny cooler I put on.

 

new radiator hoses.

lately, I've been thinking about wideboxing it..what do you think?
