    Think I found a somewhat rare truck

    Soooo, have some $$, and stopped by a nib down the road, and going to go down there on Sat., with a load of cash. I believe it is a 1977, short/step with a canopy, no significant rust, 454. Ran when parked. Five years ago this guy had twenty rigs, some I have been lusting after for awhile, but...

    Pretty sure I blew a head gasket this morning....

    Good advice from Eric, also sounds like a head gasket leak. You can check this when you get it home. Fill back up with water, start it, (may have to pull the dist., cap and dry it out,) and leave the cap off. Look for bubbles in the water. If you gun the motor, and water gushes out, and the oil...

You can measure within .015 easy, have been doing this for fourth years as a Journeyman Machinist, no BS, and I put my finger between the body and the tab, to protect the tab from slamming into...

    Headers and O2 sensor

    I do have a small cam, and an E-brock airgap/ 750 Holly 1450, but the 1 7/8 headers helped. I use a Bosch and AEM A/F meter to calibrate the carb. Installed the gage in the dash.

    80 sq body

    I bought a Milwaukee buffer, best thing I ever bought for buffing, which is what I would do. Wax that thing, it will look awesome the first time, and better each time after. Here are some before and after pics of my 85 C20

    14bolt FF size vs 10bolt

    Looks like a Dana, as it has the spreader holes, D60 fronts are rare, wish I had one too, so it is most likely a D44. Make sure it has the right side drop so its compatible. My K20 has one, I like it, it is behind a big block. Here is the build if you want to check it out...
