Well it's a 1978 W200 It came with a 360 2bbl 435 transmission 203 transfer case and Dana 60's front and back with a lsd in the rear factory air and buckets and a console. I added a set of 35x15 16.5 Super Swampers on 16.5x9.75 rims a week ago all it needed was a little front fender trimming.
My Dad ordered it in the fall of 77 he wanted a 440 int it. About 3 months later he gets a call from chrysler telling they don't make 440's anymore would he take a 400. Dad say ok thats fine. A month later he gets a call saying they don't make 400's any more is a 360 2bbl ok. Dad agrees. Then they call him and say they can't find any dana 60 axle's so he can't have a/c. Well this time he tells them if he can't have a/c he doesn't want the truck. So Chrysler finds an axle and the truck gets shipped with a load of 79's. Dad was a farmer and he figured keep the truck for a few years then buy a new one. Well farming went to hell and it was the last truck he ever bought.
Now that I have it I've bought some new tires put a new 360 in it. Next on the list is the cross over steering.

3 months!!! yeah, i would've told'em forget it then. i wouldn't have waited another 4-5 to get my new truck when yo probably could've ordered a 79.
the Big Block story may be right tho. the latest BB i have is in the beginning of the 200,000 series at the Warren plant.
