Re: 3/4 ton BBC 4x4?

Quote:
This is a very original 'un-molested' 1971fullsize 3/4 ton four wheel drive pickup. Bought new and lived most of it's life in Washington state so has zero rust. 402BB(5K miles on custom rebuild), TBH350 Auto Trans(rblt) , A/C(just upgraded by DAS in Roseville), PS, PB, CC, Tilt wheel. Drivetrain, steering col, seats, and frame are all original to the truck and frame is not lifted. You won't find a car steering wheel or seats in this. It is all ORIGINAL which seems to be hard to find based on what I see posted out on Craigs list. Has original rare dash options which include tach and vacuum gauges along with an original dash throttle control knob. This truck is in MINT condition and drives like new!!!

Ok first...this is a very nice truck and I would not mind having this sit in my driveway. But...the following would be of concern to me if I was looking for an original stock K20...

1) BB were not a factory option for K-20's of this year.
2) BB engines have TH400 transmissions.
3) Bought new...it's like he implies that he purchased this truck new from the dealer.
4) Drivetrain is all original?
5) Dash-I am not sure a vacum guage was an option this year.

As mentioned this is a very nice truck but I question some of the statements about this truck. This is why we need to do research when we are in the market to buy.
