your motor in your vehicle stops workin.... like full out siezes? looks like im throwing on the servo harness this weekend and cunducting holy repair to the machinespirit of my holy landraider.... err... i mean truck. ...
twas a shame. i was going to spend my tax return on something for my army this year...along with renew my insurance.... but looks like it wont be....

I won't lie, I'm a little surprised that beast lasted this long.

haha. 40 years. when looked after... the chevy V8 will go forever. i have another one rebuilt and ready to go in. just gonna cost a few bucks to buy the nessesary parts. but it actually is decent on fuel. i pay .79 a liter... propane. and it gets me pretty good milage per dollar. i love the fact i can still put in 50 bucks and get about 70liters of fuel. give or take.... usually the trucks bullet proof, but not tonight i guess

plus when you see a 69 camaro goin around or a 70 chevelle or challenger... remember... those are 10 years older then this truck too. when kept in decent condition. they will last. like this truck. that motors been through a lot. but it decided it was wanting to be reclassed as a boat anchor now... and so it shall be haha

I had a Chevy Citation that did this. Damn thing was a money pit if there ever was one. :/

Firstly, nice choice on a pickup

Sucks your motor puked on ya. At least its not incredibly hard to swap out motors in older chevy's. My brother the giant is a mechanic, and had a late 90s suburban that had a bad motor, and it took him 4 days to figure out how to take the fether out

it shall live again. it hasnt cost me too much. and i do have a spare hard running 350 to drop into it. gonna trailer it to a buddys place and go completly ork on the thing. maybe paint the new engine red.... red goes.....FASTER
