I like that luv, what motor was in it?

Those wheels really look great on the orange/red 1971 3/4ton.
What if Gm had that available when those trucks were new? it would have hastened the 'revolution' (probably too strong a word) of folks wanting the super nice larger (3/4 ton) trucks. IIRC, then only peeps who wanted 'big' trucks were for work, not because they're 'cool'.
But this one definetly is 'cool'. I love it when new parts work 'seamlessly' on older rides. This one does!

couldnt tell on the motor in the love, didnt say anywhere, a blown smallblock of some sort, judging by the back tires it is serious though. And I agree those rims look real nice on that orange truck. Makes me wish my was a 3/4 ton so I could do the same
