Maddog13407 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 always liked that square body style Chevelle. never cared for the 70's style even tho it had a 454 and Bmodelboy, wheres the pictures of your BLT? don't see any album, looks like a nice truck. Im a Chevy guy and have a soft spot for the 65 square bodies Chevelles, 55-58 Chevy and GMC pickups and 73-87 pickups, 67-68 Camaros, but would also love a hopped up Model A or 32 or 33 Ford 3 window and have a 56F100 that's been on the back burner since I saved it about 9 years ago from a cokehead wanting to scrap it for quick cash. if I only won he lottery id have a garage full!

Lol!...............................MarkThe '55 has been in my family since 1961 when my pop built it to run d/gas with a 331sbc and a 3 speed stick. I bought it in 1970 re-powered it with a Hilborn injected 427, 4 speed and ran b/mp and ran a ton of Bethpage Burger King , Connecting Highway and North Conduit street races. By than it was running a 4/71 blown 400 small block and a Vitar Clutch-Flite. Went back on the track in 1977 as an h/gas running a 320 GMC six and 4 speed. Last time it was out of the garage and off the trailer was in 1986 when Suffolk Dragway changed hands.

With the close ratio 4 speed and 5:13 gears it was kind a quick in the 1/8. Still running my pops Alquist 3 speed shifter on the 4 speed. Can't hit reverse with his set up. Reverse is/ was on a PTO cable on the dash.
