Re: Need help to ID a truck

HEI came out in 74 its prolly a compillation of several vehicles made into one... Id be very careful buying this without documentation ... it could lead to a whole heap of financial and legal troubles for your friend

x3 there are way too many of these trucks still out on the road to take a chance with something shady.

Re: Need help to ID a truck

All my shop manuals say HEI came out in 1975. My old 74 truck was all original and had points...
