    That COE is sooooo cool!

    GTO Dave! GTO!!!

    I think the motor in this thing is poop (250 OHC six with 30 PSI of compression). Going to look at what is supposedly a complete running 250 I6/3spd set up this week. The emphasis on this swap would be cheap and drivable car. The end game is LS/6spd but that's years down the road. I don't have a speed complex :D

    She got moved around to the house to in front of the garage this weekend, that's almost as good as in the garage!

    Been helping my neighbour build one like that for next year's tour. Was originally planned for this year, but ran out of time.

    Trailblazer SS engine / trans swap into an '87 C10. Heavy parts are in, wiring and plumbing to do.

    Plan B. Working on Plan A with a buddy - about 50 years older than this.

    This year was my first tour. Learned the importance of A/C and a good cooling system - especially at Chattanooga.

    We drove the 57 Dodge pickup on two long hauls with zero issues too. We have a Truxedo cover on the bed but it’s not secure.

    I need to just bite the bullet and buy a welder already (and learn to weld). There was a guy who had a bitchin' LOCKING setup on his C10 the first two nights at BGKY this year...he was parked nearest the beer drinking section of the parking lot if you remember his car. If I could copy what I remember of his setup we'd have a winner on our hands.

    Oh, and I have to find a heater core rebuilder locally...C10 just sprung a pretty decent sized leak

    We are not entirely sure we are going this year. That being said, we have hotel reservations and we are declaring this as plan A:

    Just need to install the LS 5.3, 460le, make the interior livable, lower it 5-6 inches, new tires, install AC and rebuild the front end. Time to get to work!

    My hillbilly tonneau cover lasted 10 years before the plywood started to delaminate.
