Project: Hillbilly Deluxe II
K20 Chevy Pick Up

I've had this project on my mind for some time now. My first car wasn't a car! It was a truck. A 79 Chevy 3/4 ton heavy duty 4 wheel drive pickup with a 4 inch lift kit. ( I told you guys I was a redneck! ) The day I got my license I entered my truck in the Greene County Fair Truck and Tractor Pulls. I loved that old Chevy! The truck was a very beefy work horse with big Dana 60 1 ton axles and springs. It had aluminum Hurricane rims and Dick Cepeck tires. I believe they were only 34" tall. If I recall we could not fit a 35" tire under the truck without steering clearance on the front! Any how! It was a Custom Deluxe trim level truck and had a mild modified 350 Chevy engine and 400 Turbo tranny with a shift kit. It had a push bar and roll bar as well as 2 fog lights and 2 200 watt spot lights. My Dad gave me the truck and had it painted for me. I made a lot of good memories in that truck. Since the truck was a Custom Deluxe I felt a more fitting title for it, and it's driver, would be Hillbilly Deluxe. I airbrushed up a bug shield with the name on it and installed on her, and made a new dash plate with the name on it as well. I have been wanting to build a scaled down Hillbilly Deluxe for some time now. So I guess now is my chance. I do not want to build a replica of my real truck. I want to start with a clean slate and build a bigger better badder truck, but scaled down! I have created a shopping list of parts and accessories I am going to need for this build! So let the build begin!
