    I almost forgot this one. It's mine whenever I say the word lol. This belongs to an old family friend that has known me since I was in diapers. The owner is in his early 70's and don't drive any more. He is the same guy I bought my 359 from. He keeps the truck in top shape still. I makes some of the other local guys around here mad because he won't sell it to em.
    Orginal paint, ext hood, interior is orginal and immaculate. She's gotta 400 BC backed up by an 18spd with 3.90 rears on tall rubber. I've pulled a shade north of 100K on a hopper with this one and she will squat down and ride.

    If it was on it when built ((front brakes))need it to be legal. Couple other items manual slacks adjusters and seat belts same thing.

    To add front brakes just some hoses and spiders drums and shoes. The valve would have a port to plumb into.

    Well I've just turned 36 and my oldest is going to college next year. My second son the following year followed by a 2 year break then we start on the girls going. The truck ain't goin nowhere that's for sure. That 359 has been a topic of discussion between me and my dad who is retiring in about 5 months and is lookin for something to do afterwards. Something will be worked out I'm sure lol
