thanks spanky. by the way. before i left i told you guys about a "cannonball" jimmy that a buddy of my wanted me to see. i found it, and the owner. he walked up to me as i was looking at it, fired the thing up, and drove away. the 238 sounded sweet as the guy wound the thing out between gears. as to the question of whether it was for sale, i got a smile, a "no thanks", and he stated it was a working truck, belonged to his dad, and he just plain liked it. it was gone before i could get back to my pickup and get the photos i wanted.

another thing spanky. the old gmc with the hand crank ernie holmes on it is still there, but i haven't been able to find the owner. it's located in waverly indiana, which is a pretty good ways from the house. i will try to get back there.

the driveline is basically stock---sorta. the 400 smallblock and 400 trans. are original, but modified. different cam and intake, and valve train. shift kit and low stall torque converter, and the differentials are basically stock, except for axle trusses and additional shock mounts, and bushings. fun to drive---and--uhhh----fun to help the misses into the truck. (i'll leave it at that). eek wink

So ,, you haven`t installed a step-ladder for her to get in yet grin
If that truck is the truck I think it is it should have the factory Detroit locker in the rear end cool
Still not sure on the front end as the pics are a little fuzzy,, wait, that is my eyes :rolleyes:
Does the truck see any mud or get to go out and play? grin

yeah-someplace around here i have a picture of the thing totally brown except for where the wipers cleaned to windshield off. full posi on the rear. dual 3 inch exhaust with headers and flowmaster make a pretty good cackle off road.

HOWEVER- the thing is useless on ice and packed snow.

next toy (the cabover) will be much more practical.
