Need help....any info? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm thinking of buying a truck but something doesn't add up. I am hoping someone can enlighten me or offer their thoughts.

The truck is a '73 shortbed stepside 2wd with a 350 column shift automatic. It's got 5 lug wheels and it's completely rust free.

Here's the rub: The VIN from the title decodes as a 3/4 ton 454 4bbl (CCZ243F444644)

Did they make C20 shortbed with a 454? Seems like that combination would want to swap ends when you get on the gas. If the truck is (was) what the VIN says someone changed the suspension and motor but bolted plywood over the bed wood. This just doesn't add up to me but I don't know these trucks that well.

Any thoughts?
