    it’s very straight. Not quite a survivor as it’s been painted a couple times back original colors. It was a 1 owner till maybe 5 years ago or so. Somewhere between here and there they put a 700R4 auto in it and it waouldnt stay together so it changed hands like dirty panties for a bit. I had a local transmission shop I think a lot of put the 4L80E in it. It’s a 402 big block factory air truck. Drives kinda like most old 4WD’s as in it’ll wander around a little. I hope this transmission takes care of that problem

    I had a 402 in a 70 model Chevy 2 Wheel Dr. Man that thing loved gas and just a little bit of oil. But they all did back then. I tortured that poor thing and it stayed together. I sold it in one piece. But I had a lot of cars I wished I still had, and that's one of them.

    I had a 69 with a 250 3 on the column. I too regret getting rid of it

    Was my Grandpa's truck, learned how to drive in it. He gave it to me when I turned 14.
    Over the years it's been resurrected a couple of times.

    I've got a 65 Ford ranchero with a straight six and three on the tree. I tried to get the photo to upload, but I can't get it to do it. When I can, I'll send you a picture
