Re: BlueJ

Several days later I found the 73-74 blue and white color combo I've always wanted. So here we go again.

Meet BlueJ

Re: BlueJ

It has that hard to find pearl and black interior like OJ had. Most of the blue and white trucks had that all blue interior that was common.

Re: BlueJ

looks like it is solid and should be great when you get done with it.

Well I just ran the numbers on the block and it came back a 79 truck 350. I also did a compression test and it scored about 135 psi per cylinder. As of now I am just collecting parts and trying to get this 56 done for the auction.

Re: BlueJ

It already has (had) two slots on it. I think it's trying to tell you something.

Re: BlueJ

So far I'm going with a 4" 6" drop all McGaughys, spindles, coils, shackles, hangers and shocks. Wheels will be either stock white steels with the correct dog dishes and thin white walls or 8X15 deep polished slots with a set of BFG. Restore the interior and see how the paint buffs out. I'm a sucker for original paint.

Re: BlueJ

Man, your old truck was one of my favorites. I can't wait to see this one. The blue/ white combos are awesome! I hope you're kidding about "buffing" that thing.
