Has anyone ever put a 427 in one of these trucks? I would assume you would need the big block mounts and the big block bellhousing, and the v-8 crossmember. And also the 3/4 ton front coils for weight of the 427.(685 lbs dry weight)also does anyone know if there is a bellhousing that accepts the 6 speed ROD to a big block? What rearend setup would be better also leafs, freshly redone coil/trailing arms or a four link? Dana 60, 12 bolt or what? I was thinking of making a patina truck. Like white with fake rust and maybe a 3/4 ton even. And have an old apple orchard logo on it and have apple crates for seats, just the old orchard truck that will lay about half a mile of rubber and still be nice to drive maybe lowered an inch or two also. What do you guys think?
