History
Wyoming truck, never in the salt. Purchased new in 1985, in 1992 with 120,000 miles, did a complete refresh. New glass, door and window rubber, new upholstery, suspension upgrades, rebuilt trans and 4X4 unit, paint change etc. Put about 4K on it and in 1995 started a V8 conversion. Project stalled out and I just put a cover on it till I retired this year.

Has a 350 Crate motor built by shop in Chicago area
Not heavily hot rodded, as I wanted more street-able vesicle. Roller rockers, gear drive, Zoops pully system, Be Cool electric fans, Edelebrock Performer with 650 Holly. MSD HEI distributor etc.
Always wanted a Typhoon, but since Chevrolet never made a version of that, i figured my clone needed a name hence the "Blizzard" emblems machined out of solid brass as well as the SS emblems.
