'71 C30 Flatbed Budget Restomod

[l_alvis]

So here's an old truck that's been around the farm awhile, but several years ago the old 350 went out with a bang (a few rods decided to peek out). After stockpiling whatever I came across for cheap/free all this time, I finally got it back on the road with a little more kick. It's an LQ4 6.0 with over 300k miles that I cleaned up and threw on a Holley 750 and LS6 cam. Runs very well and the bearings/cylinders were in excellent shape. Factory 4 speed, clutch linkage, and driveshaft. This poor SM465 has sat on the bed outdoors for nearly 5 years collecting rain and all I did before pairing it up was pull the drain plug and refill it; still works great! Up next is rebuilding the front end and swapping the rear end for something with a little less grunt.
