You could make extra money on the side plowing snow in the winter. The guy would starve over here.

You might not know them, but if they were a Lounger there's no way they wouldn't know you.

Most of the English speaking world, of a stylish type of dress, knows Lizzie, and a few more besides.

My mother and I went in half and half on this one, today. We bought it from my sister and brother in law.

It's a '77 Chevy Scottsdale. Needs plenty of work and will certainly keep us busy lol

Its a Chevy, it will last forever.

Hoping so, as long as I can do something about the RUST!!!!!

Besides cosmetics, it runs great, but needs some ****** attention. Sometimes, it doesn't want to shift out of first. I've found if I start out in L2, instead of drive, then shift into drive, after 2nd gear, it'll shift.
Worst case scenario, TH350 transmissions are easy to come by and easy to swap.

Nice score, Tom! I always liked the front end on those 73-79s. Congrats!

I assume it's a half ton, single cab, long bed? What's in it for running gear?

Unless it's a Vega.

Sounds like the internal seals are dry. Has it been regularly used or sitting? I would try some of that transmission conditioner stuff first to see if it will lubricate it up. Change the transmission fluid first to see if it helps then add the conditioner if that doesn't do it.

Yep. Worked out pretty good. Body alignment after cutting out the pans was fun. :doh:

AFTER?! I thought you were supposed to tack everything together BEFORE you cut out the floors.
