When I was almost 16 my dad had a 72 with a 350 olds rocket in it. He told me he was going to give it to me when I turned 16 but I guess decided I would probably kill myself with it. Ended up giving me an 82 Chevy luv with an industrial diesel motor in it. He probably made the right decision but I have been looking for one to buy every since. I probably can’t afford this one but I would definitely be interested if you ever decided to sell.

That demon carb have to fit to certain bolt holes pattern. The intake manifold is for racing Weiand about two foot tall but not less than a foot tall. The bolt hex head goes up the stem threaded will tighten the carb down. and the head is bottom and attach the ratchet and screw tight the bolt so the carb have threaded in these screw holes onto the bottom of carb. The Weiand cast aluminum on the top - only have 4 holes and no thread so the hex head is below and it tighten thru the upper flange of its intake manifold. Do you want double plane manifold or single plane intake manifold? Thanks.

It is said that those grease pencil marks on the firewall are basically the truck's model number. Here are numbers from two trucks that they "decoded". They were two C-10's. First truck. CE 10734 C) Conventional Cab. E) Eight cylinder. 07) means it's a short wheelbase. 34) stands for fleetside box. Second truck. CE 10904 C) Conventional Cab. E) Eight cylinder. 09) means it's a long wheelbase. 04) means it's a step-side fender box. I believe they wrote those codes in big letters and numbers on the firewall so that the workers could just look at the firewall instead of having to go look at the build sheet.
