I guess I missed the engine, trans and rear end specs?

Sorry about that. Engine is a 73 model 2 bolt 350 that was in it when I got it. Trans and rear are org to the truck = 3 OTT with an open 3.73 geared 12 bolt. I did rebuild the top end of the motor using the 3998993 cast heads with a new Erson E11024 cam and lifters. Also gave it a new oil pump, timing chain and switched from points to HEI. Intake is Edelbrock Performer with a 600 CFM manual choke carb. Exhaust is cast ram horns I found at swap meet running through 2.5" knock off flow masters from Thrush. The truck sounds GREAT.
Wish I would have gone thorough the bottom end since I drive the thing so much now. Just waiting for it to spin a bearing...
