CL Find Custom Truck?

I saw this 1970 GMC on CL this morning and it does not seem right. The first thing I notice is the paint job it looks like a dodge from the 80's. The guy also says that it has a 400 from a Pontiac. I know that the earlier trucks could have Pontiac motors in them but did they have them as late as 1970?

I'm pretty sure the engine has been changed. Paint is definitely custom. Everyone has a plan. His truck, he can do what he likes. We all do that.

I figured the engine was changed. I was wondering if it was at all possible.

Re: CL Find Custom Truck?

Before I painted my brother's GMC I had a lot of people ask who's old dodge it was. Its the square front end and cross bar grill.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
