Dropped the 81, had a one piece driveshaft build and going to do a patina buff, or at least try! Lol

Dads 1984 3/4. Ford wheels for added reliability.

I think they look good! Also helps with rust prevention!

No rust on this one. Lived most of her life as a 1/2 ton 305 truck that was reported stolen in the 80's and parked in a barn. Paint was like new until it sat outside for a couple months and started flaking off. Had around 13k miles on it.

Dads beater squarebodies. We also have a plethora of 1966 ford trucks. I'm hoping to start on my truck soon. Have a 75 f150 4x4 running gear I plan on dropping a 66 short box body on. Have a 390 and 4spd I plan on using... although it may get put on the back burner again as I just found a bunch of sbc parts I'll probably use to do the v8 conversion in my s10.

This is probably putting the cart before the horse but I got a 454 to rebuild THEN find a truck to put it in. Its a low mile motorhome motor, cost me $150.

Know if it's a std block or a tall deck? Some of the motor home/ school bus and medium dutys had them. Doesn't matter either way it's a good score!

They made TD 454s?

Or could it be a TD 427?

Yes, my buddy with the 6.2 has a TD 454 in his Elcamino.

I believe they made 366, 427 and 454 td blocks. Not 100% sure but gm made some unusual combos for hd applications. More than likely a std block but there is always that chance for a hidden gem or bastard. I have seen some pretty wicked td builds is why I mentioned it.

Its a standard block. Could be either 2 or 4 bolt according to the block number.

 

[Daserlon]

Got another one today. 77 half ton 4X4, 4spd with a 400. Cab corners are pretty good and has a nice flatbed. He wanted $1000 but we bartered for 8 cords of firewood.

I stopped at my favorite watering hole and there were 2 other squares there so I parked in line at the far end.
