    1977 2500

    i have a 1977 chevy 2500 long bed that use to be my dads truck. back in the day he built a 350 sb and slapped on a turbo kit for a little extra power. i know it has 411's and he said it use to be pretty quick. but over time he got a new truck and let his workers at his company use the truck to get parts. he didnt use a waste gate on the turbo and ran all 3'5 piping and said it use to push about 18 psi. so it would have a prob of pre detonating ( even with an alch injection kit added). so with no surprise his workers beat the hell out of the truck and blew the motor. its been sitting in his shop ever since. about a year ago i pulled the motor and its been sitting since. im not sure what to do with the truck. im thinking of getting it running and just using it as a mess around / drive to work truck or im also just thinking of selling it and using the extra money towards something else. what you guys think i should do? ill post pics as soon as i get home from work

    Hows the body, frame, etc.....?

    2wd or 4wd

    Could just throw a nice crate in there. Nothing wrong with having multiple vehicles to drive.

    A mid 70's-early 80's crew cab long bed is one of those projects that iv always wanted to do. Too bad they are one of the hardest trucks to find. I have only ever seen 2 of them.
