Thanks for the tip, I've worked around jacobs before. I'll look into it.

I prefer 40 hrs.....

 

Sweet truck. My Uncle had one just like that except dark blue with a 454 and Dad had a '83 GMC 4x4 with 454. Both badass trucks, but they liked to overheat in the summertime.
If yours was 4x4 I could find a new home for it pretty quick.

 

Yeah Im playing around with the idea of swapping the cab onto a shortbed frame with 4x4. He'll even a long bed 4x4 is cool.

This 350 was a crate motor, so I bet this thing had a 454 from the factory being that it's 3/4 ton and a camper king with all the extra suspension. Ordered the gasket set last night, gotta pick my pistons and rods up from the machine shop, then putting the motor together this weekend. Need small stuff like dist. Cap and rotor, plugs, oil, filter blah blah blah.

 

If you switch to a short bed let me know I may take that long bed off your hands.


Hopefully you will find something man.

 

I'll let you know.

Ive been doing a shitload of sidejobs and been doing pretty good.
