Old square body. Those are classics and fairly tough to find that aren’t ate up with rust. Found a early 80’s Bronco in the wrecking yard over the weekend with the removable top still on it. Blew my mind that it was even back there as it should been up front with a price tag on it. Some places just don’t have a clue what they have with respect to classic vehicles.

My old K5 has the typical GM cancer but I’m keeping it.

One day it will get there. Every so often I do a little to it or get some pieces powder coated.

After a week of the job and doing everything else that needs done by myself, K5 doesn’t get that much attention.

It did run a little last year. Absolutely no oil control left. I’m surprised the cops and fire department didn’t show. About 5 minutes of run time, I could not see in that building it’s in.

It took about an hour for the smoke to clear.

The 350 sounded pretty good except for a tiny bit of lifter trouble. Over 255K if the odometer is right. I expect it’s more.

I always figured on getting a crate 350 at some point.

There is a guy at work whose son builds race car engines a couple hours away.

I couldn’t afford him I’m sure.
