Behind that grille, a squared and bowtie-branded hood leads the eye to like-new glass that's centered between satin stainless wipers and small, chrome mirrors. At the sides of that glass, chrome door handles float among bright marker lamps, a simple gas cap and correct C/10 4 WHEEL DRIVE 8 350 emblems. And at the back of the truck, an embossed tailgate centers a bold CHEVROLET script between fresh tail lights and a second chrome bumper. Chevrolet V8s few stand for reliability quite like the ubiquitous 350. What started as a run-of-the-mill Camaro option has evolved into the most versatile, best bang-for-the-buck engine on the planet. The variant found in this pickup wears a TBC suffix code which shows the block to be a 1970 truck engine that was originally paired with a manual transmission. It's a strong foundation to build upon but, for now, the bay remains a relatively stock affair. Naturally, the mill is dressed in an attractive coat of Chevrolet Orange skin. A familiar Quadrajet carburetor rides between a single-snorkel air cleaner, stamped steel valve covers and a fresh stainless fuel line. Fires are sequenced by a traditional points distributor and 7mm Premium Super Max plug wires. The front of the engine turns a modern power steering pump behind a pulley-driven fan, while an OEM-style radiator cycles coolant through GM hoses and new tower clamps. Spent gases spiral through cast iron manifolds to big, true-dual pipes that are fitted with dual-chamber, Flowmaster-style mufflers. undercarriage that hasn't even been assembled long enough to amass its first layer of dust. Nearly everything wears a fresh coat of Satin Black paint, which looks great against the orange engine and silver drivetrain components. In the center of that drivetrain, a rugged 4-speed transmission makes the best of the small block's power. That transmission feeds a freshly rebuilt transfer case, which divvies up torque between beefy axles and familiar Warn hubs. Modern power steering makes quick work of turns while heavy duty drums bring everything to a halt. The truck's powdercoated suspension has some extra ground clearance thanks to a 6-inch Skyjacker lift. That lift clears tall 315/75R16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs, which wrap around 6-lug Ion Alloys.
