Very cool. It's nice to see people holding onto the 250/Saginaw Three setup. Be careful with that hood there. Those like to buckle right there in the middle. They make braces to prevent that, but I don't know how corrective they are.

I also agree with keeping the 250 and 3 speed. 250's never die!

I have a soft spot for the 250 as i learned to drive in a 73 c10 step side with the 250 and no power steering. That truck is in my media album.

Ohhh man, I'd love to have that truck. If it were mine, I wouldn't do much to it. It's looks straight and unmolested. I'd love to not have power streering too. I'd just keep them stock like it is, clean it up a bit and just drive it. I'd keep those too, but about the only thing I might do, is get some of the chrome dog dish factory hub caps.
