I have no doubt that there's an "enthusiast" out there who's willing to build an entirely new truck around a big block and a 3 speed, cuz we all know there's plenty of people with more money than brains... using that logic, any pile of rust is "restorable", even though it's really not restoring when the final product only has 10% of its original parts...

One man's junk is another fool's treasure... a big block with a "tree" speed just ain't that cool IMHO... who will be first to start the bidding war for this "rough diamond"...???

If someone is so hung up on saving this truck for "chevy truck posterity", the only difference between rebuilding this rust bucket, and swapping the parts to another solid truck would be a whole lotta time and money...

Like they say, there's one born every minute...
