Here are some pictures of my uncle's 76 Chevy. He got it from a family friend and totally went through it. I think it looks even better in person than it does in these pics. Before people start talking about the details, it's a 76 with an 80 front end, later doors, and an 80's box. It has a nicely built 350, TH400 and a Gear Vendor overdrive. The cowl hood is a Goodmark.

That's Mt. Hood in the background in front of one of my uncle's two shops.

The extra switches in the middle of the dash control the Gear Vendor overdrive.

The mirrors are pretty uncommon factory accessory power mirrors. I don't think they were ever put on a truck from the factory, but they were available from GM.

Uncle has a sweet ride. Can you borrow it....?

ElGracho · 07-28-2004, 09:27 PM

I like this detail. I really don't like chrome rear diff covers, but I really like this aluminum one.

TIMSPEED · 07-28-2004, 09:28 PM

nice, clean truck

ElGracho · 07-28-2004, 09:29 PM

Flowmasters and X pipe. The X is further back than you would like, but it does sound good! It also has a gear drive that adds to its tough sound (but you wouldn't want that on a daily driver...)

That's it. I'll have these on my web page too.

I did get to borrow it, I drove it to a car show last weekend. It really motivated me to get to work on my 86!

Of other interest to you Ken, this belongs to one of my two uncles in the video game business, Mt Hood Gaming.

Joe, that is one good looking truck...thanks for sharing!!!

I hope mine turns out that nice!!

I really really like the look of that truck, less the hood, not a big fan of cowl induction hoods. The paintjob really works well on the truck

I also like the rollpan on it, looks awesome

It looks like your uncle does pretty good in the video game business if he has the time and/or money to build a truck that nice. Maybe $umday I'll get there too....
