traded my 87 honda for this 77 chevy fleet side 3/4 ton.
here is the pic form the add

the lumber rack is off.

thinking i should start with paint then get some nice wheels, then from there ill have to see. ill post more pics of it when time allows me too. any tips would be welcomed. ive lurked on this site for months and now that i have a chevy i saw no better reason to join!

cant wait to see how my first project unfolds

watch out man, if you get into it your gonna be spending big bucks, when i first got mine the motor didnt run and there was some little stuff i wanted to like get some nice wheels and keep it mostly stock, just make it nice to cruise in, now.... im putting a freshly built up 355 stroker race engine in it, lowered it, gonna to tub it out, gutted it, custom aluminum dash, racing seats, the whole works lol

lol sweet trade!!!!

My only advice: figure out what you want to do with it first lol. I was in the same boat.. just did a 5-7 drop on 22's... then bagged it.. then re-tore it down and am doing a full resto and its body dropped on 24's.. They are always never ending projects.. but thats the fun part! Good luck with the build.. can't wait to see what unfolds.

Oh well. Just use your membership on here to decide exactly what you want in a truck. Ask your questions. And maybe even find a truck. Good luck in the hunt.

lsmft · 03-04-2010, 09:47 PM

1 is a 73 chevy with no bed have to throw in 100 for the bed

STOCKISH · 03-04-2010, 10:37 PM

I'd take the chevy with no cab or bed defore I took the Ferd.

Driveway Dreams · 03-04-2010, 10:55 PM

And besides the preference of Chevy (we are all a little biased), $100 for a bed is CHEAP! Solid truck?

lsmft · 03-04-2010, 11:03 PM
