Finaly got it home

Got the stepside home tonight along journey, most of the parts are rust free exept for the cab, missing alot of stuff, hood+hinges, cowl panel, front drive shaft, bed floor, grill tail gate etc but other than that its ok Head light bezels are in exelent condition original metal once

the cab is trash could maby be saved i dont think its worth it i have the floor boards but need rockers, corners and misc rust in the pilars repaird.

the engine comes out as a 327 or 350 casting 3970010 its blue in color so i think its just a truck 350 but has alot of holly parts on it and looks like something is done to it but i think its trashed for sitting out in the elements valve covers have rusted though

Tranny is a TH400 fluid still looked fine so might be ok

When I run the VIN from the driver side door jam. it comes out as a 1973 2WD ½T with a 307 V8, so need to find the frame VIN also

Pics will follow tommrow i home

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
