Here's a "buy with eyes wide open sort of truck": 72 C10 swb big block.
https://wichita.craigslist.org/cto/d...419434756.html

I got all excited when I saw the flaky black paint exposing parchment door panels (i.e. a rare as hen's teeth swb big block highlander perhaps?) only to have it all come crashing down when I got the SPID. It's a Highlander! Yay! And it's also a Suburban too apparently! Boo.... Ha. Anyway, it's a frankentruck and it isn't rare, and as we all know there's no way to know it's a numbers matching big block. I'm assuming someone just peeled all the goodies off the Burb, engine and glovebox door included, and stuck em on a crusty 72 C10. But might meet someone's project needs. Mainly posting so nobody goes down the same road of excitement I did for nothing...

EDIT: Felt worth adding this - seller was very responsive and gladly offered up SPID pic, etc. He probably just didn't realize what his SPID says. Again, this might be an interesting project, just didn't want anyone here to think they'd cornered the market on a swb big block highlander. I was pullin out my checkbook before I saw the SPID
