Yep, it needs a lot of work and its really slow for a 454, but I'll fix that soon enough. Really it kinda matches the chevelle. Not the slow part, but the faded black and bigblock chevy part.

The guy I got it from backed over a stump. Cought the tailpipe. He had to cut it off. No ideal why he didnt just go ahead and cut the other one off.

Cool ride, Wade. I always like those trucks, but they were slow from the factory.

Slowgreen, did you ever do anything with the one you had to make it quicker?

always thought those were good looking trucks. never could figure out why people wanted to rip the upper level stock wheels off and bolt on some pep boys rims. same with the bowtie exhaust tips.... oh well. looks like fun though, i bet simply buffing it and cleaning the headlights/rims would turn it from a 2 to an 8.

Mine was stock I lowered it put a roll pan and a bed cover and a gmc grill with a billet insert. Its been in a ware house for the last 10 years or so. A waste.

Always liked those trucks. They are slow stock, but nothing a cam, pair of heads, and an intake/carb won't fix. The factory rims look badass in my opinion...definitely try to get them back!
