1979 Chevrolet Scottsdale custom from North America - Comments

Everything was junk when I first got it on my 15th birthday.

Blown motor when I got it.

I put a 327 out of a corvette, aluminium heads. bored 30/over. I put a turbo 400 tans-mission with a monster shift kit. Next was the rear end, I went with a 411 12 bolt rear end. dressed the outside with a custom metallic silver, then took seats from a newer Chevy truck that are leather and put a stereo system with 4 12inch polkaudio sub-woofers, and had to run 3 batteries to power them.

This truck runs like a beast and turn heads. You can hear it well before you can see it. I take it to plenty of shows, and though it is not stock restoration people still enjoy it.

Is it rusted away like most old chevy pickups??? Or do you obviously not live in the rust belt??

Yeh, either that or about 500 pounds of bondo!

Or sat in a heated garage 10 months of the year!
