I got this old war horse in the spring of 2004 from Abbyville, La. 454, th350, 203 case, 3/4 ton axles 4:10, 38'' super swampers, 6'' suspension, 3'' body on a nice rust free chassis and body with a a decent paint job. Only mods I have done to it was swap in a th400/208 and run 3'' flowmaster exhaust system. So after years of abuse it's getting tore apart and receiving some needed upgrades
