that is an awesome truck. everythiung is so cool........except the white walls.a set of white letters would make it perfect in my book. i put lots of miles on an 81 4x4 long box that had the 305 replaced with 400 4 bolt main.
The bean counters ruined those early GM diesels. Once they corrected all the deficiencies of cheap head bolts, longer/stronger main bolts and upgraded the IP to a metal drive plate the Goodwrench engines were pretty decent diesel engines. But the damage was already done.
That is a sharp truck, you did it up right. But dang that was a lot to correct, bringing it down, undoing all the butchering. Now you got me thinking of doing the same to my 96 1/2 ton. Rust worm is too far advanced though, even in the frame. Or keep on with the 72 Cheyenne Super, but that 402 BB is just too thirsty at 11mpg to do any cruising with. No problem driving older wheels here. You didn't say how long this project took?
