Here's my new toy. It's a 1973 crew cab 3/4 ton. It's got a dana 44HD with drums and a dana 60 rear. Under the hood is a 360 with a 1 barrel carb and a 727 with a divorced NP205. I plan on rebuilding the 360 and mating a 2wd NV4500 to it so I can continue to run the 205 divorced. This is gonna be a 2 year long project so I'm not in a huge hurry. I'll get some new and better pics this weekend.

Thats going to be a sweet truck when it's done, I like the colors alot to. I have seen a 79 done up nice on 35 inch thornbirds. It was just flat out bad to the bone

 

[Trailduster79]

Sweet rig man. I would love to have one like that for a tow rig

 

[RAMMAN4]

It's eventually gona be my daily driver and my tow rig for my RC when I change that over to TOY status. I'm definitely gonna get rid of the 70s paint schemes. I can't stand those. I'm thinking of a maroon exterior and a light grey interior.

OK patrick. I know that I haven't had that many beers yet. I think you said that only 2 barrels came on V8s that year. My chiltons show's that 1 barrels are included and if it's a 2 barrel it's the smallest I've ever seen. Everybody that has seen the motor says it looks like a 1 barrel also. It doesn't matter though cause I'm planning on putting a holley truck avenger on it.

 

[Guest]

2brrl was the smallest carb on a v8 that year. or ever i think

Patrick

 

[RAMMAN4]

You be the judge.

Isn't that a BBS Carter..?? The 360's usually had Holley's on them.. Check the motor ID numbers.. I think that may actually be a 318 in there. Looks like the carb that'd been kicking around the spare bedroom the last few years.. (It's stuffed in a box somewhere now.. Coudln't find it to compare). I swear that really is the 2bbl though.

No, it's not a Carter BBD. I don't know what a Carter BBS is. That's a 1 bbl. Probably a Holley. And as for the 1bbl myth, even some of the big blocks had them stock.

 

[Sparky McShakerton]

sweet deal! does it have the trim that goes around the lower body line? if you ever want to get rid of it let me know.

 

[RAMMAN4]

Nope, that's all gone. It seems like somebody before me tried to remove it and do some shitty body work over the holes cause now the bondo seems to be peeling off.

 

[Guest]

just to clear some air take thecarb off and look at the bottom. the 318 my dad has looks like a single but its not.

Patrick

 

[RAMMAN4]

I'll get around to checking it eventually when I pull the motor. For now the truck is just gonna gather some more dust until I have time. January will probably be the soonest.

 

[Sam Simpson]

looks like you are gonna have some fun with rust repair. How much did you get it for?

 

[RAMMAN4]

I traded 120 feet of 6 inch schedule 40 pipe for it. The pipe cost me $288 for it. I don't think it was a bad deal.

 

[Sam Simpson]

yeah, not bad

 

[Lurker]

So what's the carb?
Just curious, wondering if it really is a 2 barrel.

 

[RAMMAN4]

I'm not sure yet. I won't be around the crew cab until saturday and can check it out better then. BTW, there are more pics on the website for my crew cab.

I poked around your site for a bit! Very nice RC. That front bumper and grille guard is bad ass for sure! I really like that rear tire holder too.
