Tell us more about the truck. Or is it just a disembodied frame?
It is a Frankenstein truck. From the outside it looks like a 72 SWB Stepside 4WD. However, the cab and 402 engine are from a 2WD LWB 72 C10. I thought the "3" also might mean 1-ton, but wouldn't I have 8 lugs instead of 6? Also, I can tell the frame was shaved near the exhaust manifold so that the big block would fit in. I think that verifies it was a 4x4 frame, and not a conversion???
