Old school box chevy with a few goodies. 383, th350 trans, new flowmaster exhaust, nice interior, new 20's, decent paint with the usual nicks and dings. I also have a 2" cowl glass hood that goes with the truck as well. The a/c is all there, but the compressor needs to be reinstalled and charged (the tall valve covers interfered). I don't know much about the motor other than it was built by H&M and the Dart II heads were prepped by Dover. The motor only has about 300 miles on it. I took this truck on trade for one of my jeeps. It runs and drives very well.

I'm asking $5500 obo.

The tranny was rebuilt last year and has about 5000 miles on it (according to the previous owner). Everything is original other than the motor and wheels. I have the the a/c compressor and lines.. The brackets are still on the motor but they need to be modified due to the tall valve covers.

Bump for a nice truck. To bad your so far away......and I don't have $5,000 to blow on a truck :biggrin: Seriously though, it's a nice lookin truck. I can't imagine you'll have too much trouble selling it.

That's correct but it stops incredibly well. It does have power steering and power windows. Overall it's a great truck.

FWIW, some early models didn't come with power brakes. My 75 was purchased without power brakes and I've never had a problem stopping.
