Just checking in.
A few months back, I was lucky enough to pick up a complete 5.3 for next to nothing. I'm now planning on swapping it into my '49 Studebaker pickup. It'll be a long term project but should turn out nice if everything goes to plan.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to post as the project moves along.

Should be a sweet project. Have fun and let us know how much better it will be! :lol:
I like really old ass trucks...I'd like to get an old International Harvester truck and work over sometime. I once let a '69 Cheyenne 3/4 ton 396/TH400/12bolt slip through my hands for $1200. That would have been a bad mo-fo to build up! :sad:
I know what you mean! I had a chance to buy a 1968 GMC all orignal with 327, auto, air, ps, for $1800 and I missed it by a day. :bash:Quote:

hmmmm i let a 66 chevy with warped heads roll out of my driveway and on to a trailer for $200. my buddy bought it from me when i was only 17,(didnt have the financial ability or knowledge at the time to fix it). man was i upset when he drove it back over to my house about six months later. damn thing wqas runnin low 13's in the quarter. sad thing is he rolled the truck on the freeway and totaled it.(shedding a tear)
