I acquired a 1977 Chevy C-20 Long bed from my parents. It showed up at my house on a transport truck friday night all the way from Texas. It was my grandfather's (mom's dad) truck. It has been sitting for a good 10 years. Only being driven once or twice every 2 weeks. It has a 350ci small block and a TH400 transmission. It is geared to pull though. My grandfather had a camper that fit in the bed and then pulled his boat every where in it. Transmission is leaking a bit, probably the pan gasket. Needs a tune-up really bad, sounds like its running on 7 cylinders. Has some rust in the lower front fenders, but that is normal for this body style.
I dont really know where i want to go with this truck, yet. The body is in really good shape. It will definetly need a paint job.

Some pretty good differences between the '77 and the '90, body style wise.
Now we are a 2 chevy truck family, but not for long though. Red truck will be sold. Not sure when, but i dont need 2 trucks.

Put a new set of plugs in the '77 today, it runs soooooo much better 2 of the old plugs were completely fouled out. Gonna take the carb off tomorrow and take it to work on monday and get a rebuild kit for it. It is leaking fuel onto the intake. Then comes an oil change. Then onto checking the brakes.

A few cold beers and working on an old chevy truck on a warm saturday afternoon, what more can you ask for
