Everything black in the engine bay and on the frame is satin black chassis paint made by Duplicolor.

Engine is the original 1972 4-bolt main 350 (.030 over), stock crank and rods with Speed-pro 10:1 Hyper flattop pistons, Stock 2.02 heads (with some mild porting), Lunati 292 Bracketmaster cam and Lunati lifters, Roller rockers, Cloyes double roller timing chain, Heddman Headers, Edelbrock RPM air-gap, Holley 3310 (750cfm) blueprinted and benchflowed by Lyle Winters racing in Tacoma, WA. There is a stock HEI ignition in it in the pictures... but there is an MSD Pro-billet HEI with rev limiter in it now...Roughly makes 400 hp around 5,600 RPM's.

I rebuilt the TH350 myself, and installed a B&M shift kit in it. 2,800 RPM stall converter.

Goes pretty quick for a truck. The best part about it is when people hear it they want to see the engine. When I open the hood... people aren't prepared to see an engine that clean in an old work truck... Which is exacxtly the look I was going for.

It's one of those projects that will be forever ongoing... always tinkering with it. One of my buddies gave it the nickname "Creeping Death"... after a Metallica song.

Thanks for the comments guys...
