Im thinking about about trading a car I have for this to do a build. Its straight but has a blown 360 in it according to the owner. I have always liked the short bed club cabs. Dont need it but its calling to me.

They are cool as all h%$#! Always thought it would be nice to build one with a mild stroker small block and leave that standard 321 gearing etc for general use.

I have a 77 Ramcharger that I built on the cheap thats almost done. It made me love the body style. And for some reason I think this truck would look great in this color.

I like'm. watch for cab roof rust above the windshield, inside and out. and the frame next to the gas tank catches all kinds of crap and rots there.

I have always liked those too. Have plans to build one, but with a step side bed.

Im looking for a cheap small block as the motor is toast. It also needs floor pans towards the rockers but the rockers seem good in the pics.

I am guessing they make floor pans for the trucks are not too costly?
