Nice ol' hoss. I'm impressed with how so many of these trucks still retain so much of their original equipment 30 years later... A testament to their durability. By the time I sold my '97 4x4 (a week before I bought my '73) I had replaced B.S. items  such as heater controls, brake booster that managed to last 33 years on my old Cheyenne. It even tows better than my '97.

hey thats a nice lookin truck. when u gonna get them new tires and get your hubcaps done. your slackin cuz. hey i finally got me bed in primer  

[RSBAD454]

My gramps had a 75 like that, except he had a 454 and it was a yellowish white combo. I'd ditch that 350 and get the pickup 502 replacement engine......320HP and 515 Lbs/ft of torque.  

Toys are my game

[Lt.Del]

Ah, get the 383 stroker engine.  335 hp/415 ft lbs torque...she'll bolt right in since  a 383 stroker is a 350 block.

haha that would be unreal power  

[RSBAD454]

502 would be a better all around driver and puller....these numbers are with very low compression and dinky cam.

Wow, $17,500.  Boy that is an expensive engine.  And just think, you'd pay that much again in gas each month after installation of that big block.

SgtDel- is that the 383 u got? thats pretty sweet- i have always seriuosly thought bought getting one because they have a reasonable price and i understand some nice power 2  

[Lt.Del]

No I didn't get that one.  I bought mine from an enginebuilder in Arizona.  I paid about $2800 for mine w/out an exchange.  She runs so sweeeeet!!! I had them put an RV cam in it to take advantage of lower rpms. It is the easiest swap ever due to it bolts right up to anything that your 350 bolted to, since it is a 350 block.  All my ac,alt, pwrsteering, exh manifold, pulleys...every bracket, everything bolted right on w/ no modifications.  

I shopped around for a couple of months and decided on D&J Machine and Performance.  They had the best price, offered 4 bolt main, no core exchange, free shipping.  If interested, email Darl at  enginebuilder1@yahoo.com

He can quote ya some prices, and not just 383's.
