Her name is Rosa.

[Austin]

According to the PO (second owner since conversion), she started life as a 78 long bed 2wd. Frame chopped, D44 under the front. 351(letter), 4spd. T-Case unknown, but "it's the gear driven one". He even threw in a york compressor.

Welds are quality, workmanship on conversion to match. Roughly 6-8" improved height.

Wheeled Tellico's Lower Two & School Bus, then driven home.

Judging that by the visual? BC she's a total custom job...

$1200 for her. If we don't work out together, I can part it out for more.

 

[5.0Flareside]

but im no expert.....

It's a tall deck Cleveland...suffering from 70's smog regulations...put the cam gear at zero, intake, carb and headers and they will do just as good as others.

351m`s and 400`s are lugging sob`s. Which has never been a bad thing in my experience. Lets not forget, 351w 2v`s weren`t exactly setting the world on fire back in the early 80`s. That`s a pretty swinging truck.

no.. but they are still much better than the 351M's in my opinion stock for stock...

And you know what opinions are like...

My 77 F250 with a 351M will lay 15 feet of rubber from both rear tires without any effort. It is still stock.

 

[Austin]

Crawled under her today to check the T-Case and front & rear ends. Some rust through, but not bad for a wheeling rig.

(sorry for the crappy pics...)

Yeah. He's mad it doesn't say 350 Chevy on valve cover

 

[Austin]

Off to the shop to see about doing a few things to the 'bed'...

 

[LEB Ben]

Glad to see you back in a dent. I'd be extremely interested what kinda flex that thing has...looks to have a shackle flip in the rear. I think I'd err on the side of 6" of vertical improvement. Looks like it will be fun beater rig.

As for the 351M...tough to kill em and a matter of a few hundred dollars and you'll be up around the 300hp mark.
