Long time, no visit. But I bear good news. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cliffsta · 08-26-2007, 03:19 AM

Its been a while since I've been on this board... I've defected to the Honda network of forums, for obvious reasons.

Anyways, on to the good news. The guy I sold Ol' Red to, has him back on the road!!

Ma and sis snagged these spy photos Sat. morning...

Apparently he has been trying to resolve the motor issue b/c he was in contact with my dad. And he came by today to show it to me (that he had it running) but I was working an 11-hour shift

BUT he promised to try and come by again to show me. Pops said it was sounding MEAN, most likely a crate 350 with a little sometin' in it, plus exhaust I'm sure.

I know he has somewhat ghetto plans for it but I'm OK with that, because I'd rather see it on the road, kickin' a$$ than rotting in a junkyard.

More pics when they become available.

Shoulda kept it Cliff.

Regardless, that is cool it's back on the pavement!

Hoods69BadBowTie · 08-26-2007, 01:25 PM

^^ I was thinking exactly the same thing. But thats awesome its back on the road and not in a junkyard!

cliffsta · 08-26-2007, 05:18 PM

Money and circumstance dictated I couldn't keep it. But who knows, I'd definately like to own another 73-87 down the road.

Pops said it was definatelly running very good, probably a crate 350 b/c it had a different intake than the Edlebrock we put on the 305, and it had headers and dual exhaust.

**Ron 586** · 08-26-2007, 07:54 PM

Thanks for stopping by. Good to hear from you and that old Red is alive and well with its new owner. Keep in touch.

84 400 · 02-26-2008, 09:40 AM

wow cool to see it still on the road man. Sorry you sold it but you did what had to be done.

Edit
Sorry for bringing this one back to the top i bet Cliff does not stop by here to often anymore. It is cool to see his ol truck up and running tho

**old Rusty C10** · 02-26-2008, 10:47 AM

That's what is was thinking.

Hey cliff if and when you get another truck you may end up with a nicer one ie better optioned or maybe newer ie an '87 hang in there.
