brand new interior....tranny....motor....fast as hell....but outside looking...well....patina-ed. I actually thought it was pretty damn cool. and yours has even more.....you know....patina! lol
Just saw a 67 Impala with perfect patina on the trunk and on top of the side bodyline. I instantly thought of this truck...now the patina has to be not too over the top..but a litlle? :-) [Reply]

I tried to buy it for years before that kid bastardized it (IT looks good now I'll admit) BUT it was ordered as an ss badges delete except a little one on the grill and on the dash. Bench seat, column shift. Special ordered, ultimate sleeper back in the day.
His dad owned it when it had that patina and was all original. I've seen the build sheet. Begged to buy that car. His dad loved my black truck and I offered it up but the son wanted it so dad saved it for him.
Sucks he scrapped the engine and trans. Then cut the frame all up...Really sucks to me.
But hey it really does look good if is the same car. [Reply]

If you like that truck, check the build on this truck.

I wouldn't own one of these in stock form anymore no way. I have had 2 69' Chevy SWB trucks and a 70 long bed in my life as daily drivers. Loved those trucks but when I rebuild a 67-72' SWB it wont have much stock left on it. [Reply]

Hey Jason I have a question for you when you get the time
This afternoon I took the 2nd key for my 03 Jeep Wrangler and started it up..it ran for a few seconds then shut off..I did this about a dozen times and it would run a few seconds then shut off..like it ran out of fuel..put my normal key in and it ran just fine

Any idea what the deal is
the second key didn't have the security code in it. [Reply]
