bigred #2
years ago my dad owned a 77 chev 1 ton with a 3 inch lift and i loved it. had 33 inch tires but it rotted out and we parted it out.
i was going to buy this truck about a year ago for the cab for my other build but he wanted 1500 for it. so now that my 76 chev half ton needs a motor i thought bout this one. After i saw the shape its in and how nice it ran i cant part it out. it will be my dd when i get my N. ps, i got it for 800 bucks. so what it is, is a 1980 long box with a late 70s front clip, 3\4 ton 4x4. all the rust in it is the cab corners, thats amazing for being down here. its got a 10 year old crate motor on propane that docent miss a beat, attached to a 10 year old trans witch all works great. plans: paint(will do in summer) rear shackle flip b52 kit upfront around 4 inch lift twin stick 205 aluminum intake 35s pretty up the interior a bit what i have done already: bald 33s off bigred #1 head ache rack prepped for primer on with the pics ill post pictures of pictures of bigred #1 later. thanks guys.

Re: bigred #2
And here is the picture of the original truck. Dad bought it years ago went to part it out and found out mud drags was coming up. so he just threw doors on it and used it, he sold the box and doors from it.
after paint stuck just before he got stuck just before part out. its last steps after this it sat in the yard as a rolling truck till i got my first chev when i was 14. I stole the lift and t and then we threw the cab away. still have the frame, rearend, tranny and tcase tho!

Re: bigred #2
cleaned up the front end. Did some painting and got a new grill for it. looks alot better. the bumper is just getting finished. winch will sit inside
just cause this is the only picture of what the bumper should look like. This one is on my other 80 chev short box.
