Back on the road after nearly 40 years!
I know I know it's not a A- body but I've owned this old truck about 32 years now and it had been sitting at least 8 more before I got it. I switched gears as to what direction I was going to take with it MANY times over the years, and with life thowing all sorts of things at me while I owned it, plus raising two kids and helping with two grand kids I finally got it done! ( well there never really done ) but done enough, I insured it for three months the other day and then got my eldest son to come on the inaugural voyage , ( in case I had to push, lol ), and she ran quite well, I didn't go far because it needs a wheel alignment and I found out I need to re- bleed the brakes, but I'll tell ya, I had a grin on my face! Nothing special for a drive train just a good old 318, ( removed from low mile 71 survivor dart ), 4bbl eddy carb, cast iron case a833, removed myself MANY years ago from a low mile survivor Barracuda that I converted to a auto for a fellow. And a 8 3/4 rear with a 392 case and sure grip, she sits on a 81 Dodge frame so I have front disc etc. P/S M/B. BTW the picture taken driving from inside was my son not me I was busy checking gauges and traffic, lol.
