On the upside thank you for the kind words about the seats.
White Fang is still here. Now it's sort of a retirement project.
It was ''totalled'' on paper by Farmers after an engine bay fire. Body is fine.
With gas getting so high, I wasn't inclined to rebuild a BBC.
My Sub now has a Salvage Title which would require a complete overhaul.
With running trucks -- '68 C/10 Stepside and '71 GMC Jimmy -- I don't need a 3rd truck, especially with gas, insurance and maintenance.

Set up was: 454/TH350/NP205/12 Bolt 3.73 w/Auburn Posi.

The rear end was cannibalized into the Jimmy 12 years ago. The Stepside has the '67's horn button, hood letters ''E'', Voltage Regulator, and the hood latch, plus some odd signal lens screws.

I have a 292 L6 core, an SM465/T221 core, a thrashed 1971 12 Bolt 3.73 Eaton Posi diff, and a partial Dana 44 front axle. Truck was originally rigged as 283/SM420/T221-?/12-Bolt open 3.73 -- I think. PO progressively up-gunned the motors... 283, 350, 454. And went automatic.
