Cool. Id like to hear the whole story though. I'm curious to know how many transmissions, fuel pumps & intake gaskets have been replaced :lol:

That 2nd article gives a little more info- "The truck has had four radiators, three gas tanks, five transmissions and six water pumps, but its 350 cubic-inch engine shows no signs of wear, he said. It has never been overhauled and still sports its original gaskets, valve covers and timing chain"

i hear ya, i had a 89, and it only had 70 k when i traded it off, and it smoked like a freight train every time i cranked it up and the trans rattled when it was cold.
