Back to grass roots

[roaddogg]

Grew up around these square bodies with my uncle owning many of them. So as I grew up these were the trucks I flocked to, owning probably 10-15 of them over the years. I ended up going to school as a Ford tech and bought a newer Super Duty truck I recently sold cuz I have 2 kids in daycare ($$$$) and work just a few miles from my house so don't need a big diesel anymore. So I figured I'd go back to my grass roots and get a square body, but needed one to haul a trailer and the family so I found a 1974 c20 crew cab. Its a boat. Suppose to be 52k original which I believe to be true since interior is mint or almost mint anyways. Just thought I'd introduce myself.

Thanks everyone. Its got some typical Midwest cab corner rocker stuff but not bad for 40 years old. Looking to drop aluminum block 5.3, 76 mm turbo holley engine management system with 4l80e in it. I also want to short box and lower a little for a better stance. I have all the engine stuff minus gaskets, a few sensors and fuel line and fittings, just need trans and a clean short box for it.
