Mr Lang I have looked your truck pics over many times. It is a great looking truck. With my 3/4 ton I drive it a lot. I put 3500 miles on it in the past year so far. stock 216 with 4 speed. and it is doing well. I am anal and change the oil about every 1000(I know very often) but it keeps me in the garage and tinkering. I saw your double carb and looked like dual exhaust set up. Do you haul a lot of loads? or is it mainly for the better power? I find that my 3/4 ton has plenty of power for the gearing(when only hauling people and light loads(under 1000lbs)
Rust Bucket I still drive and tweak on all of my trucks- that is what I love about them.
Glad you got yours on the road. that is where they belong.
