Ol Pickup Truck

[Johnnyreb]

I bought my 1972 Chevy C-20 about 2 years ago. I had her towed from the country to the city where I live in Norh Louisiana. She wouldnt go in reverse, had no door panels, no grill, a busted heater and some huge red seats that looked like the belonged in a city bus. At 1200.00 bucks it seemed like a good deal at the time. Over these past couple years I've bought her a brand new transmission at about $1400, spent about $600 on some hedman headers, replaced the rearend, spent $400 on a holley for her, $250 or so on high performance ignition parts, and believe me brothers the list goes on and on and on. The 350 just got completely rebuilt ported, polished and blueprinted the whole 9 and I threw a set of old school 383 stroker heads in there too, and that ran roughly $3500. Still no grill or door panels and still sports that spray can primer paint. Yall would'nt believe the heads that old truck turns even in the shape shes in. For some reason everybody still loves my ugly loud old pickup truck. Dont get me wrong fellas I really do love this ol truck but it seems like every time I turn around something else it tearin up or falling off. I slamed the door and the guts fell out of it. Its zip tied shut right now. I get the motor back and put in and now the S.O.B wont go in gear cause the transmission linkage just wore out on me. I guess if I fix every singl thing that could ever go wrong with it the it wont be nothing left to break down on me... How long and how much $$$ does that take?
