My '66 - I might need y'alls expertise

This here be my "new to me" '66 shortie stepper.
got her in December and have been tooling around in it when its warm out (which hasn't been nearly often enough)

It also seems its not what i thought it was. The VIN says she's a LWB. Also has a 5 lug rear end with 6 leaves that doesn't look like it belongs. The PO didnt know what power plant it had either! [how does that happen, its so sad]

Im going to guess its a 350, for no other reason than i'm hopeful, and its got a granny 4-speed too.

here's some shots:

It Drives just fine, so I'm not too worried about the rear end, but stock is nice, too. It seems whoever did these conversions was into the early '90s trends with the shortie steering wheels and crummy bucket seats. I yanked those as soon as I could (got a bench for free on CL)

Anyway, tell me I didnt blow a crap ton of money on a lemon, haha.
thanks guys, y'all have been invaluable to my knowledge of the land of C-10s.
