Re: Bringing my Grandfather's 1972 Longbed Stepside C10 back to life

I was able to get a motor today, now working on figuring out what else I need to order to make it all correct for my '72. Per the code on the block, it is an '80-'85 305. I thought I was getting a 350, but it is a 305. And with costs of motors being crazy right now, a running 305 is better than a non running truck. It will need the carb replaced and a new distributor (maybe just cap?) due to a flame up when someone was trying to crank it by pouring gas into carb. Will probably use crank pulley off of my 307 since my truck doesn't have power steering and will use alternator bracket from the 307 as well. Planning also to probably do water pump, valve covers and oil pan. Here are some pics from transporting it and cleaning it up this afternoon.
