Youngsta, Doin' it Old School!

[C9A1L1L]

Name's Joshua Howard of Sacramento, CA. I've always had a longing to drive the REAL kings of the road and I came across some of the biggest ones, my 1965 Chevy C-10 Limited SBSS truck and my 1972 'Maro RS/Z28. They have both had engine swaps. The race engine I built for the camaro (350 4 bolt) was swaped for a 454 and the 350 was re bored *.030* **soon .060** and then placed in the Truck. At this moment in time the 'Maro is no longer street legal (That's when you know you've succeded) and so all attention is going towards the Truck. It's nice to find an active classic site like this, I shall call this "HOME"

Welcome Joshua! I am right up the road from you in Marysville. Sounds like you have a couple cool rides in your stable. It is indeed great to see a youngsta running something with rear wheel drive! Keep up the good work! You got some pictures of your stuff you can post?

That's a nice straight looking truck you have. The project should keep you busy for a while too.

Yeah it will be fun, not too much work to do to the truck, that's original paint and everything. All that there is to do is any extra customizing I see fit.

My grandfather has a 67' Gmc 4X4 that has a 74' Blazer 350 in it that has been sittin for 16 years. It ran 16 years ago when parked, the only reason it was never run again is that the Bell Housing needed changed cause the housing used on the 305 V6 was diffrent than the 350 one so he got the one that would fit the 350 but never got time to put it on and it was eventully forgoton but, I hope to find time to fix it sometime this or next year.

Yeah they are awsome trucks, get it up and going, you wont be sorry! As soon as I get mine all restored and dazzled up I plan to purchase another vehical of the 1965 year as well s a trailer from 1965 and use the truck to haul the car and trailer to shows as a matching set. Should be pretty nice, time shall tell!
