Chevy nut from the Ozarks

Well, okay. I have a video of the 66 GMC. It's a new purchase for me. The plan is to "Z" the frame to give it a much lower stance, polish up all the aluminum on the engine, after a much needed in-frame rebuild, and either restore this 7500 body or I may put a 60-66 C60 body on it. Depends on the availability of 7500 body parts, namely a windshield. I've been a truck driver for so long, when I close my eyes and vision hot rods, I see diesel engines, black smoke and 5th wheels. Anyway, here's the video.

The 65 is in the "if it can be taken apart, it is taken apart" stage. No pics yet. I'm in the process of figuring the steering geometry right now. I've added a later model Chevy PU front suspension and working on rack and pinion now. Plans with this one are chopped and sectioned rat rod. I have another 4BT Cummins engine for it.

Here is my 76 gasser. I use it for most of my pulling and work on the farm. In this pic, I went after an old Dynahoe backhoe that weighs right at 16K by itself. The truck did well for a nearly bone stock 350 with like a bazillion miles on it. I maintain the engine and drive train meticulously and it literally has never failed me. The flatbed dumps making this truck handy as a pocket on a shirt.


This is my daily driver. 1995 Chevy with a 4BT Cummins and a whole lot of expensive upgrades. The 4 cylinder puts out a bit more torque and HP than a stock 12 valve and gets 26 MPG.





And while I'm showing off the toys, I might as well add one that doesn't belong here, but is awful nice to look at.
