after I went to all that trouble, I realized what I did wrong, esp when I looked and saw the reply location. Ric I would still like to know if anyone has any info on my truck, I have only found 1 in this set up. beautiful russet sunfire metallic.

that is a pretty nice truck. don't see many Adv SE stepsides, esp 440's.
as for production #'s they are hard to come by. i have been searching relentlessly for the years that are not known.
in 76, these #'s are known for 1/2's, -121 D100 shortbeds -70 D100 shortbed stepside.
i would assume the 77's to be similar maybe even higher. 76 & 77 were the high production big block trucks years.

Not meant as a put down, how are you guys verifying that your truck originally had a 440? Back when I had my '76 Club Cab and was looking for big block parts, saw a LOT of trucks with the 400 that the owner/seller insisted was a 440 (hint, 440's didn't come with 2bbls!). Just curious. My Club Cab had been a 360/auto Adventurer, I dropped in a (440) cop car drivetrain from a '77 Gran Fury using a wrecked '77 400/auto truck for parts.

Well , for the most part, I will have to agree with you, most do have the org. eng ,as because , they were trucks,nobody knew what they had,nor cared , because it was ,just that ,a truck,no one cared , even with the LRE ,,I have seen many of those trucks destroyed.Many of my friends have destroyed them, and never looked back

I guess I have a few of them besides my LRE Macho and Palomino's which are all 360's.....lol.
