yes i saw it listed twice on ebay, what did it go for in the end? i was very tempted but i had just bought two trucks, and couldnt explain a third.

Tell me your secret for explaining more than one truck so I can implement it. I keep trying using the two projects at once will be easier but it's not working.. LOL

Pulled out the truck to get a little sun.

Any engine pics? I like the mileage, I can't break 10 MPG with my 350 with Carter AFB. Planning to rebuild/repair a Quadrajet I've had in my possession.

I don't have any pictures of just the engine I do have a video of the it running under hood too from where I purchased it..its a stock 74 350 with a 1405 edelbrook carb and intake with a GM HEI distributor and a pair of hooker headers...only thing I did was replace the throttle linkage on the setup..

pablo101 · 03-18-2015, 10:18 PM

Thanks..The wheel change was due to clearance with aluminum wheels..4" offset with didn't clear the lower arms..The Bassets are 3" offset..just waiting for funds or the right deal on some torque thrust style 15"'s
