My first pickup
I have been looking at this forum for awhile and figured I would share my ride with everyone. This is my first vehicle I am 17 but I have had it for almost 4 yrs now. Its a 77 short box big 10 that I bought from the original owner! It even came with a patsy Cline's 20 greatest hits cassette tape lol. Anyways it has a 350 sbc and th350 trans. It is not the original engine however It was rebuilt but is pretty tired right now. I rebuilt the carb, put in speakers, and a different radio. I also changed all the fluids and had the windows tinted and some other small stuff done. It has been my daily driver and I absolutely love it! I am in the process of building another small block for and then the plan is to swap a 700r4 in it.
