He drives a '69 Chevy truck now and that 454 would drop right in....but he ain't gettin' it !!! Here's a pic of the '77,I had just finished putting almost $2,000 into it.Tires,wheels,interior,etc. Loved that truck

Going too fast....a light turned yellow/red and he wasn't paying attention.He stomped too hard on the brake(very strong brakes,Camper Special,heavy duty everything),locked 'em up,skidded over a curb and right into the only tree within 200'.Every time I pass that tree I visualize my truck there

RIP GMC

For sure.That truck would have F'd up any other car/truck.He was going way too fast,but he said he wasn't speeding....yeah,right

I should have....he's too F'n big.I,to this day,miss that truck.He suggested puttin the 454 in his '69,I told him''you ain't ready for the power''....''you'll wreck the '69too''.He didn't like that much,tough shit!!

The 327 in his truck is just right

The wheels I just bought must be good ones(from Pep Boys,but custom wheels) cuz the curb didn't hurt 'em at all.They're right behind me now in my computer room...tires & wheels
