Kinda like the hybrid argument an extra 4-5k for a hybrid buys a whole lotta gas!

Now on my 72 I need to at least go through my engine and if I start pricing things out it really wont cost me a whole lot more to do an LS so that's my plan just gotta pay a few more bills and hopefully by Christmas I ll have the front end off of her
You know, I was just thinking....because I probably won't drive my truck very much even after I get it running again, that gear swap probably won't be worth it. I have a feeling the truck's gears will stay the same as those have been these 42 years.
