a 30,000 mile UNMOLESTED original, now my daily driver! Original 6 cylinder with a rebuilt '66-'69 Saginaw 3-speed Overdrive. Synchro low! Otherwise, everything original down to the spare tire. Interior is like new. Needs paint, but absolutely zero rust.

Make a low offer and work from there.
Good luck,

With all the torque in the newly built 454, will the motor stand still and the truck spin around??

Not sure how many PO my truck has been through, or what was done, or even if the engine was the orginal. Id it from block numbers. I wanted to drive it while the big block is being built and it cooperated for several months, wished it would have lasted longer, I miss driving it alot. It will come back, bigger, better, and stronger. Can't wait.  Rick

There is no problem so difficult it cannot be overcome by generous application of brute force & ignorance
