455 oldsmobile engine and TH400 transmission.
saginaw power steering.

Dana 30 in the front, dana 44 in the rear, originaly the engine was a 266 V8 IH. Before i changed the engine the owner before me had a 400 pontiac engine in it with a TH400, he modified the firewall to get the big block to fit,his daughter mud raced it and his kids drove it around the farm until the transmission went out, thats when I aquired it years later after it sat and started rusting and the engine bound up from moisture and rust in the cylinder walls.

ya the body is in great condition thanks and good luck on yours too (said over 3 years ago by true blue).
I like it. I am craving a shorty cab for mine. I just got a bulk head out of a junker Scout in a pic-n-pull lot for $5.00 so I will be ready to go when I find my shorty cab.
Already has a lift on it, that's good place to starts.
Good luck on it. (said over 3 years ago by Danny Driggs).
