    Well, i always wanted a box Chevy, but never really had the opportunity until last week, i am a family man and i have 3 kids. We out grew my Nissan pickup so i went on the search for a late 70's early 80's chevy wagon. when i saw her i knew she was the one. I want to keep her a sleeper, going to replace all the factory speaker and keep the factory locations going to put head unit in glove box, looking into putting two 12" kickers in the spare tire well.
    here is the work already done.
    rebuilt 355
    Edelbrock Perfomer intake and 600 carb
    headers and 2 1/2" dual exhaust
    350TH with shift kit
    dual 12" flexalite fans w/ painless wiring relay
    2000 Blazer dual piston, brake set up, with 2" drop spindles
    Grant signature series steering wheel

    i am taking all opinions and love any help you can provide on keeping my G wagon rollin:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Wow, that is a quick reply! It looks really clean, including the interior. I think it will serve you well as a roomy family car. I have no experience with that engine. How does it perform?

    Aloha from the mainland!!!

    Nice wagon. I've had 2 G-bodies, but never a wagon. I really like the G-body wagons, though. I especially like the rally wheels you got there.

    This is a great place for info/fun (even for those of us with Want-A-Wagon-itis, but haven't been able to get a wagon yet).

    :Welcome:
