Always liked that body style. Truck size and ride height are proportioned right.

Did you completely rebuild it and if so out of what? I was thinking of having one fabricated out of Aluminum and going with some 6-1 tach and speedo guages.

Thanks for the feedback on the fab. It came out nice. I like your list. 0 Rearends. And people say 9.25,s are junk. My frame cracked at the S box as well. How much of the frame did you box in to eliminate the problem and what gauge did you use on that part?

I wish I had Pics to show.....
What I did was removed the steering box. Welded and ground all the cracks and holes. On the gear box side I shimmed the box with a Lawson washer, Welded that to the frame....
On the inside of the frame, we shimmed it just enough to get a 1/4" plate to be sandwiched between, using more Lawson washer and longer bolts, After Tightening it all together, we got the sick welder out again and welded the plate to the frame. Something like 3-3/4"X6"X1/4" or something there about.
I also had the motor out and went threw and welded every spot up in the front end that had a Riveted point.
After resetting the alignment. I haven't looked back.. I think I did that at 110,000 Miles..... The truck now has 500,000 + miles

Pretty darn fair lookin' ol pickup. I, too like that style. First time I had anything to do with one, was LONG before Al invented the internet. In 74, I got out of the Navy, and in 75-6 or so, a friend of mine had a near new 74. He wanted a 440 and I had one. We put his 360 into my old FJ 40 Landcruiser and my 440 into his 74 W150. Lakewood scattershield, turned out to fit the 4 speed, found an oil pan and modded it for rear sump, I don't remember what we did for exhaust. That thing really really ran.
