I got my new rig today its a 76 Chevy pickup. Step side bed painted camo and body is pretty clean.(Drives like a charm and will get 75 very easy) Has bout 3inches of lift and some 33-12.50-15 superswampers. Great running 350 fourbarrel intake and fourbarrel carb Its a four speed with granny low first gear and i think a 205 transfercase. needs a left front axle and loads of interior work( dash and gauges) I will post up some pics tomorrow if i get a chance. I think its going to be a great toy after a little TLC....








Left front axle is broke clean off at the joint!

post them pics.

I'm looking forward to the pics. I love the old stepsides!

what kind of front axle is it ? and driver side or passenger ? I may have one , I think mine is a chevy 10 bolt, will have to look.
PS I found the other two rims for the tractor tires, you can have them.

it will have the D44 frt axle, 12 bolt rear if its a 1/2T.

there are quite a few chevys in the j/ys here in P-cola, with most of the gauges and interior parts. if its a 4sp then you have the NP205 t/case, autos had the NP203. good start for a doubler.

we want pics.

Thats great news! i like the truck already!

I Have some good and bad news! I got a hold of the man who built the truck. It has a 400 Small Block in it with a high rise edellbrok intake and 750cfm carb! and it has 6inches of rancho lift! it also has gears and locker in rearend(not sure what ratio) BAD NEWS The front end is stock and has a broke axle. No bigge though i have some plans!

uhg lift blocks are not a good idea. especially on the front end. looks like a solid truck though
