Nephew's First Chevy Truck

Postby StarsnBars [OP] » Jan 22 2012, 8:16pm

Hey all, Wanted to post a few pics of my nephews first truck. Its a 1979 Chevy 4x4 . He has been working on it for months and is about as proud as a 19 year old can get. Its still a work in progress, but its really starting to look like something. Our race team pitched in on a motor and tune. Sucker gets with the program. Dropped in a 406 with some stout heads and that truck will pin you to the seat. :shock: My nephew about filled his shorts the first time he ran thru the gears. :D He is so proud of his ride, so I told him I would post pics on the best forum on the planet,, He dosnt have much $$$ or internet access, and is comming over today, so I wanted to get this posted so I could see his face light up . Hope ya all enjoy,,,

That is a beautiful truck. In Chevrolets 100th anniversary year, it is nice to see a truck like this. It is also nice to see a youngster interested in such a hobby. Looks like he was raised well. Keep up the great work.

You know it is probably a 69. My old brain had 79 stamped on it, He should be over soon. We get kinda busy in the shop getting ready for the new season. I will ask him what year it is. I know he cabbaged some body parts on his rebuild. Anyone else know what year this this really is.. :lol:

It's definitely not a 1979, but it is a very good looking truck! :D
