Im rebuilding a 1960 Dodge pickup as well.

But I race XMODS.. dont get a lot of chick action from it buts its fun. Well there was this one time.. oh never mind.

I took the motor and tranny out of a 1985 Pontiac Parisianne and slipped them into a 1976 Chevy Shortbed. My only problem currently is the electronics were unavailable in 1976 so my 700R4 tranny is not getting all its worth. I need the module that allows it to shift into its last 1:1 gear. Its in the torque converter assembly somehow. :/

With few modifications, the motor slid right in, no prob. Actually the 1985 Pontiac was 100% Chevy, all save the emblems. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Its a rusty hulk of a truck that used to call Indiana home, but it purrs like a mountain cat, all dual straight pipes. " SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Motor is rock solid too.. it currently gets 20MPG without its last gear.. /me wonders how high it will go when it does. The Pontiac used to get 29MPG " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Of a rusty old pick-up?

perhaps, but later.. remind me. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

? quoting Myrk-

All the aged folk talking about thier old cars I can see the future now... Old Chavs talking about thier vintage vauxhall (opel) Nova lol!

You gotta admit, as far as trucks go, thats a decent body style. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
