This is a 3 owner truck, it was on non op when I bought it and I wasn t going to register it but I had it a little longer than I had originally planned, so I am the 3rd owner (but i wouldn t consider myself one, Ive had it for 3 months).  The 2nd owner bought this truck in the 90s from the old couple that had purchased it new.  The 2nd owner added a few upgrades to the truck, swapped door panels, seat, added factory tach, factory tilt, 5 lug all around with disc in front.  He claimed that the original bezel had 8x,xxx miles on it when he switched it out with the tach bezel.  When it came time for 2nd owners son to drive he pulled the big block out of the truck and built him a 350, with that being said he wrapped up the big block and stored it away.  His son wanted nothing to do with the truck.  When I heard there was somebody locally that had been threatening to sell his big block truck because his son wanted something else, I made contact with him and made arrangments to see it.  So I bought this truck with the 350 in it and the original big block came along with it. 

We tore the 400 apart and started cleaning it and checking it out to see how it looked.  The rings, bearings, crank and heads were all in good shape, the engine was very sanitary, which was fantastic.  We bought new parts and started putting it back together, listed below. 

The truck is in very original condition but has NO SERIOUS RUST, the rockers and corners are super solid on this truck.  The body has minor dings here and there, there are no MAJOR dents anywhere, the front passenger fender is primered, rest of the paint is faded and scratched up but has that "cool original look", wood bed is shot.  The seat and carpet were installed brand new by 2nd owner but dont show new due to sun fading, but in person you can tell they have barely been used.  As far as weather stripping goes its in tact but old, window felt is there but old.  Truck runs good, lots of power, tranny shifts great, this truck drives and rides very solid and tight (as far as steering, suspension and braking), it has some of the normal rattles due to old window felts.  Headliner is in very good condition, chrome trim isnt chrome anymore due to fading (not pictured).
