Great video. Very nice truck. At the end, love seeing an old truck doing what an old truck is supposed to be doing! ;)

Love the video! I'm just starting my journey with my 1971 C20 Longhorn. The more I researched the truck the more I fell in love with it.
Just bought it back in January with a 402 big block. I'm currently working on replacing the bed wood to get the truck road worthy for the summer.

My experience with small blocks has been very different. We've been great friends for so long, doing a swap has yet to get a thought. I get why guys do this and you did a job worthy of the truck, and such a fresh one! It's your truck, you've treated her well for many years, and she's ready for many more to come, with a truckload of class wherever it goes

Thanks! i really didn't want to do it. i have tried my best to keep it original, i just have to have it work well and be reliable. i still have the motor and will get it running well on the stand. working on a 69 k10 burb now that may end up with it.

good news is i did nothing to the truck that could not be switched back!

That's the thing there. You went 100% and bought complete (low mile) donor. It's all off the shelf GM
