My brother in law is in a nursing home and he wants me to sell his 76 Silverado 1500 with a 350. I might just buy it from him.
It has not been cranked in several years but is in a barn. It has low mileage, and original paint that can be buffed out.
I need to drive it 200 miles to get it here. I figure I will clean the fuel lines, buy a new gas tank, check the brakes , change the oil and put a new carburetor on it just to get it here. I can rebuild the original carb later. I will pump up tires and determine if they can make it 200 miles .
Am I missing anything else that I need to do to drive it 200 miles? I will definitely stay off interstates.
Ultimately after going through it , it could become my daily vehicle and boat hauler. A 350 should have enough torque to pull a 201 Stratos and the frame should be stout enough. I could then give my 2014 Tahoe to my granddaughter. That truck would look good next to the 64 GTO.
