[Z3CHYD]

That brings back some memories from 30 years ago. Had a '73' 4x4 w/360 & 3 speed. Was a gas hog but had no problem going anywhere. Think the 4.10s helped! Ought to find a picture of it somewhere.

A 1/2 ton with 13 leafs? My 1 ton has 13. I bet it was somethin somebody added, most the old 1/2's had 6 springs.

Still a bad ass old truck though.

Looks good... I love older trucks. I need to replace my ranger with one already.

Sounds like an F16 with that belt squeal - Love the camera work down at the duals!

Looks like a fun project!
