Ok... just landed a 1979 Big 10, 2WD, Shortbed. Found it in some blackberry bushes, and the guy told me to haul it away, no cost. VIN says it's a 454 truck, but clearly has a 305 in it. Not a huge deal, makes you think that someone at some point swapped the motor. Problem I have with this is that the build tag on the Air cleaner housing says it's a 305-2bbl, built 12-1978. If this is the case, this would put it in line with when the truck was built. I haven't been able to get other information off the truck yet, but was curious... Is it possible that when it was built, they made an error on the VIN, or it went down the wrong line for the motor? How about the motor being swapped at the dealer?
The guy I got it from was the 2nd owner, and he got it from his dad who bought it brand new. He said as far as he knew it was all original. I'm stumped, and until I can clean it up and get more info from it, I can't be sure..... Any thoughts? VIN starts with CCS449Z******. I'll upload pics when I can get the app to work right.
