Thanks for the compliments!
This was originally a 72 C10 Custom Deluxe...It's a far cry from that now. It does not have the bedside tool box, but those parts are in high demand if you have some stashed away. They are worth a pretty penny. Those tool boxes where not very common to begin with and they lived down there with all the road muck and rotted away mostly. I don't think they are being reproduced.
The engine is an early 70's Pontiac 400. I'm a big fan of the way the old Pontiac motors loped and shaked the chassis. They tend to have that BIG motor rock to them without having to make it a racecar motor out of it. It might have 350 HP, but it shakes the bedsides up and down about an 1/8". Pretty much a stock 1970 motor with a healthy cam that will run on 87 octane. It has an old 3 speed automatic TH400 transmission.
I'll keep the brake bail trick in mind, hopefully I won't need it...lol.
