  1. I gotta get part numbers for master cylinders and wheel cylinders for both trucks. Neither have brakes. That's first on the agenda. The red truck has the transmission out. I rebuilt it myself. Just need to throw that back under it and with brakes, that one will be running.
  2. Thank you John. I'm gonna do my best. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.
  3. Thank you so very much. I wish I knew how to post them on google search images. They've been hidden from the world far too long. I want to show them off and would very much appreciate it if anyone can post them for me. I don't know how.
  4. The D100 is tagged, insured and will be drivable this summer, going to many shows.
  5. It truely is one of a kind. The windshield chrome trim (with the corner pieces) is behind the seat. Never been installed. It's been garage kept since new. I have an '07 Monte Carlo with more rust than this truck.
  6. The pick up is bone stock. 68,931 original miles. Still runs great. I blew the transmission apart years ago. I rebuilt the transmission last year. Still numbers matching. Gotta put it back together. The engine is the 315 poly motor. Original generator/regulator charging system, 3 speed trans (on the tree), manual drum brakes all the way around, manual steering, no radio, original wooden bed floor. Plain Jane truck. Garage kept all of it's life. Love it.
  7. The panel truck was dad's daily driver. He said it would pick the front end up off the ground from the the line but would go faster from 60 - 120 mph than it would from 0 - 60 mph. It will truely be awesome to get it drivable again. He also said, back in it's hay day, there wasn't anything around that could touch it. Except the Motorola. Lol
  8. Yes, it has only one side pipe. It has a 1968 high performance 440 magnum. The pipes will be replaced with the corvette lake pipes, my father had installed. It is a project. No doubt about it. Also, the rear end is out of a '70 roadrunner with .373 (posi track) ratio. Transmission was built to the hilt, complete with a stall torque converter from an RV. All this with 1 ton suspension to help it hook up. A true monster. Thank you.
  9. Hello everyone. My newest projects came to me from my father that passed away in December of 2017. He kept these trucks for over 40 years, in a garage and I drooled over them since I knew how to walk. I will do them justice and honor my dad by putting them back into service, just the way he had them, years ago. I just wanted to share these with everybody. Wish me luck!
