1973 Chevy “Farm Truck”

This truck was bought new by my Great Uncle Roy Brunker, 7-24-1973 at Ed Roberts Chevrolet,inc., Bonner Springs,Kansas. Of coarse with just a few options like a 265 ci. Straight 6,am radio,a cigarette lighter,& a rubber floor mat, it was a true farm truck. Every summer when school would let out, we would all pile in the family car and head to Kansas for a week of work ! One of the high lights was driving the white farm truck, which I started driving in the fields in 1973. Unfortunately Great Uncle Roy passed away in 1985 and I was the lucky one to get this cool truck & still have it to this day.

After talking to my uncles & cousins,Uncle Roy used to have a few cold beers on a hot Kansas day driving down the back roads. A few times he would find his way in the ditch & stuck. Having to get a tractor to get out.

After building a few small block chevy engines,to replace the straight 6,& a paint job it was time for a complete restoration .Starting in 1997 and taking 10 months to finish. After I stripped the whole truck apart, it was time to get busy.

The frame was sent out to get sandblasted & Keco coated. The rest of the hardware for the chasis was treated to the same,with all bolts,nuts& washers getting Teflon coating. This engine was built for fun,a 355ci.,topped with a B&M 144 power charger, putting out 6 lbs. of boost ! A turbo 400 transmission,& a custom rear end housing with 3.73:1 gears & 4 wheel disc brakes ! Custom 2 1/2” exhaust system. The set of Boyd’s Billett wheels were a Christmas present one year,my friend ran Boyd’s wheel shop & his dad worked directly for Boyd. I then purchased the Boyds steering wheel to match.This is a truck that will always stay in the Brunker family.
