Okay story is a friend of mine has a 77 3/4 i think its a silverado i cant remember . Just saw this ad he placed

I have the 75 -c20 project coming up



Now i have the cash and the the wood. but my thoughts are this. I can do one of two things with this truck. Use it as a parts truck for my 75 or rebuild the 454 and have two trucks. Not sure what to do but for 400 bucks it seems a shame to pass it up. What do you guys think i should do?

Snatch it up! You can never have too many trucks in your fleet!

I want at least three more. Pontiac G8 ST, 66 Chevy Stepside, and a last generation Sonoma 2WD Stepside.

I have a feeling it will be in my yard soon. I have no garage space for it but i have rode in this truck before and its smooth. Lots of power, and pretty clean

For $400, I'd buy it if I had a way to get it home. Don't make me find a way to get that truck home. Is it 2WD?

I need to stop looking at classifieds. I want to give every nice truck I find a decent home. Of course, same goes for the strippers in the yellow pages.

for $400, you better get on the horn to your buddy REAL quick, especially being a big block.

hahaha I dare you repeat that to my gf ... Shes nuts. Its against the fsc rules to not post of pics of a awesome score. Is it a factory big block?? you should keep it close to oringal and use your other truck if you want to mod it, TO bad it wasnt 4x4.

Yes i do but 1. they cost a hella of a lot more. 2. when they breakdown they still arent as much of a pain in the arse as a woman and trucks definatly dont b*tch as much!

just a little update for you guy's..I went to pickup the truck and looked at the title and it had a lien against it for 1200 bucks. needless to say i wasnt blowing that much on it, plus the 400 in back taxes and then the rebuild and smog and blah blah blah...so he still has it......got my dough and ran...nice clean truck but not worth the headache to me....
