Neat. I had an 82 Chevy SWB truck myself, but I gutted that nasty 305 with the spagetti vacumn hoses and dropped a small-block 400 in her. Had it lowered a touch and and air shocks on it. Took about 4 bales of hay in the back to keep the rear-end planted when doing brake-stand launches; it had torque like mad with the 400, in addition to the dreaded saddle tanks, speaking of which I can't count the number of switches I replaced due to an electrical gremlin that kept frying them out.
Too bad I totalled it into a telephone pole only after a year.
The replacement for that it was a '91 Honda Accord SE-i, loaded. If I was smart, I would have kept that car to this day, as all I ever replaced on it was oil, plugs, filters and a distributor cap.
