The problem with restoring old cars in trinidad, is to get a good and reliable man to sort out the body work and paint. Then to get a man who from the old school, to sort out yuh mechanical, then huge sums of money to pull that off.

4 door C30 lwb Chevrolet TRUCK...vans are for wusses.

[SUNNYB310GUY]

:shock: 1972 Chevrolet C30 3+3.........V8

That's actually a 73.They made dem from 73-87.I have one except mine is a regular cab..mine is a 74.That thing is over 20 feet long...those ones have the 454 big block chevy

mine..

[V8 Boys]

and mines too! They're cool trucks ent? Indestructible...I like the fact that even CEMENT TRUCKS give me my room....and whenever the clongs on the road come squeezing thru..I just sit there and wait for them to hit it...I NEVER pull away. Just stay on my side and listen for the "crack" of plastic hitting Ol Iron.

I also like to poke fun at the New Age VANS...Navaralalas, Dum-axes, Vigololos and Lo-luxes...I pull up behind them, rev my gas guzzling V8 and laugh when they "neutralize" their wimpy diesel lumps...and try to rev with me. I just load up, and dump the clutch...tires squealin....6000+lbs of raw iron....by third gear..I just slow down and let them pass.

Nope..it tried to go up Morne Coco Rd by me but it was so powerful it ripped tyres every time the driver revved jus a little. I'll never forget that one time I saw it.

[Michael Knight...]

I remember seeing this thing climbing up from a hilly street corner in Santa Cruz, it had tardieu.com on it and just pulled out of there like a beast. Thought the website was a guide to the build or somn....anyway, awesome machine.

[quote="trini mk5"what condition is the head and valves in this engine?[/quote]


head and valves is small ting,, what yuh have to worry bout is the camshaft and the connecting rods, they dont last very long in the 12A and they are impossible to find when you need them
