My new toy

[MNorby]

Just picked up this '71 K5 Monday night for $150. Plan it to make it a weekend warrior offroad rig for trails and camping when my 83 baed truggy is overkill and heck with the price of diesel it may become a part time DD. The reason the guy parked it in 2000 was the rear end went out on his way home from out of town then driving home in front wheel drive the battery "blew up" (the positive stud broke off battery) so he towed it home and that was that. It has a 350/4 speed/NP205/D44/12b 3.07s currently. Is that 4 speed a SM420 or 465 for that year? Plans are to hopefully resurect the engine first off then I already have scored a 14FF rear and D44 front w/ 4.10s but the front is only to the knuckles, I need to find 8 lug outers still. After it is running and moving on its own I will start taking care of rust and whatnot. I also plan on ditching the half cab ASAP as soon as I can find a full top or soft top. Anyways here she is:
