The truck actually had 305's on it which were almost raceslicks so I got some 265's for free so on they went.

Minus the scratches someone put a real nice metallic multicolor flake paint.
It's interesting in it's black prism effect.

The gut and interior are much to be desired but turning it into a work truck is my goal.

Yeah this guy replaced all the factory gauges with autometers, nice but the computer seems to be really confused. Also the switches under the column are the fuel pump and electric fan. This basket case gets even deeper. The 350 was running a noisey Gear drive which was removed and now I'm trying to reconnect the knock sensor unfortunately the connector has been cut off. Also needed to replace the radiator and something is really wrong with the flywheel, it has almost completely worn off the counter balance weight but that is another project down the road.

Yes there seems to be at least a 6 inch body lift on this truck and the front axles shouldn't be on the angle that they appear to be on so I suppose a spring lift was also added.
