My new project\driver
Well, here is the truck I picked up last thursday. It is a 3/4 ton with a 402 and 400 trans. The body is in excellent condition (needs a little work, but not much), it runs and drives very good as well. I have a question for you big block guy's: I am looking to replace the cam and need some help deciding on which one to go with. I have always been a small block guy and have no idea which duration and lift would be good for a 402, I also would like to use hydralic lifters. I do like a little bit of a "grumpy" idle, but also like the engine to be streetable. Any suggestions? Thank you. Oh, I forgot to tell you the best part about the truck; I picked it up for $600.

That truck is disgustingly clean and original looking. Officially sending my hate from the salt belt.
Just kidding about the hate...sorta. Nice score!

I'm with him... you suck!
That's a sweet lookin work truck there. I kinda fear what lurks behind that radio patch panel though. What's all the toggles hooked to? I've alwaysloved toggles... if you remove that toggle panel, keep me in mind! |

Re: My new project\driver
Looks like it has some kinda shield in the passenger floorboard...you can use that to deflect all the envious stares. Nice score!!!
