I just bought a 78 3/4 ton 4x4. it was a truck a guy gave to his son and he took it to his shop class at school and they rebuilt it. it has all new body parts on the front and the cab was redone. then they put a flat bed on it. it's ok. they rebuilt the transfer case and made it part time. it has a 455 olds in it. i'm not to familiar with those engines but everyone tells me they're pretty good. lots of power and torque. but hard to find parts for i guess. but i have a spare engine that's in a 1976 olds ninety eight. i only gave $800 for it. think that was a good price?
my first thoughts were to use the body on my 73 K20 that i've been working on then i would have a lot of spare parts. but i don't know.
so i may be selling some parts off it or maybe just keep it runnin
who knows
