77 C20

[TROON]

Hello,
I recently picked up a 77 Camper special with a 454 and turbo 400. I was going to pull the motor and put it in our 86 suburban, but after getting it home and digging into it I thought it was pretty cool. The Suburban is sitting for now as it has spent time under an ocean and needs more rust removed. The C20 had been sitting for years in a field and has taken a little to get it going. fuel system, carb, cleaning and so on. Right now Iam working on the electrical system. I will post on that in the electrical section.

thanks in advance
Eric

Welcome we like pics and a build thread in the Under construction section would be cool.

Hi Eric, I see we have both the same year truck, with I think the same drivetrain, and are both in CO! I'm down in Parker but will be moving up to Centennial shortly. Very interested to keep tabs on what you end up doing with your truck - do you have any pics to share?
