Got it in 2004, wrecked it and a few months later grandad gave me the 78 C20 because I had nothing to drive.
First 3 pics are how I got it in 2004 new to me.
4th pic is the 400sbc I swapped into it in place of the old 305 that croaked. I kept the tbi. I put 454 injectors, and got the ecm out of a 350 caprice for it. it wouldn't fuel enough with the stock 305 ecm. i just filled the canted center bolt holes in the intake and only used the 8 front and rear bolts to bolt the intake on. Didn't leak or have a problem while I had it. Put in an afr guage and it said all was good with this setup. This was before i got on the internet so I had to roam the junkyards and try something and see what happens. it worked this time. 73 caprice 400sbc flew plate bolted right up to the 87 700r4 no mods. Woulda kept that engine but it got blown when wrecking..
Last two pics are the whoopise daisy. I was doin dumb stuff. Grandad saw the wrecked truck and laughed. He used to do dumb stuff too i guess. Wasn't what i was expecting. thought hed get all over me but he never did. gave me the gray truck a few months later.
