I've never seen one. Lots of potential there.

demian5 · 11-17-2016, 12:01 PM

That steel crank is worth $$$...

And the cab could be put on a C10 chassis. Awkward yes.

kcsa75 · 11-17-2016, 03:52 PM

I've never seen one either, but it's Cool!

I would like to see that cab on a c-10 or 20 chassis. The crank should be the same for a 366, 396 or 427, right?

MARKDTN · 11-17-2016, 04:36 PM

Neat truck but I would not buy it for the engine.

There is no market for steel 427 cranks any more. Yes it is the same as a 396/402. I lugged a std-std 427 crank good number nitrided yada-yada around to swap meets for about 5 years. Finally gave it away for $100 I think at the Nashville AACA in 2014 just so I didn't have to carry it home again. You may find the occasional Corvette/Chevelle/Camaro restorer who needs one for a 66 to 69 but outside that you will hold it for a long time waiting for the big bucks. Nobody builds 427s any more. Everybody wants 454s or 502s-if they even want a BB at all.

CG · 11-17-2016, 06:28 PM

Isn't that a 427 tall?

TwoFiftyShifter · 11-17-2016, 06:30 PM

Hey my father just built a full roller 427! He likes the big piston and short stroke!

**special-K** · 11-17-2016, 08:01 PM

There will always be a vintage speed market. But that's a cool truck. Why are we talking about it's crankshaft? I'd build a motor home , car hauler, or toter home. The extra passenger space makes for a great rig

I have a spot for it!

Bladeboy1998 · 11-17-2016, 08:03 PM

I'm thinking about asking him of he would trade a nice walk behind mower for it

ratty69 · 11-17-2016, 10:46 PM

That is too cool. I'd put a looong step bed on it and lose the duals for wide single wheels. ( I think they're called super singles. ) Just to be different, and cuz I like long steppers...

**70cst** · 11-17-2016, 10:50 PM

That is indeed a cool truck

palallin · 11-17-2016, 11:12 PM

If I had the $$$ and the time, *I* would build a 427.

kilrcady · 11-18-2016, 09:22 AM

Very cool truck.wish I had the room

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-18-2016, 08:57 PM

I called the owner and am working on getting it bought. I'll have an awesome 427 with steel crank for sale if I get it.

I happen to know where one is.

I'm almost thinking Longhorn with modified stepside fenders over the rear duals. I'm just hoping to get it first.

That's what I'm doing on the GMC, I really want a "tucked" dually but there's no highway gears for the HO72.

I think 4.10s with O/D is a great hiway ratio for a truck. And that way it's still good as a truck. That's what my '95 Suburban has. I think of thee GMT400s as being just as hiway capable as the new ones.

Hope you get it, I have no use for it but for some strange reason I would love to the same thing you're thinking - with the addition of a t-case & front axle!
