I like your truck, very cool. I've only been around 67-72 trucks so working on this beauty is a treat. The quality of construction is even better, we couldn't believe the condition of the bolts when we were taking them out. The original engine in it was a 248 and Jim put a running 235 in. We found the vacuum operated 2-speed rear still works!
