GMT 400 obsessed Swede.
My brother bought this about 18 months ago. He traveled to OKC to get this(a 4 hour drive from the house), and I must admit: I never really cared for the Mopar stuff, but this is starting to rub off on me.
It started out in life with a 318. The previous owner didn't like how much(or how little) power it was making. So he pulled it and rebuilt it. Still didn't like the power from it so he pulled it and swapped in a 360. STILL didn't like what it was making and rebuilt THAT one. So this has been through 4 unnecessary engine builds. Neither my brother, nor I have ever had the chance to work on a carburetor, so it's been interesting on trying to tune it to run better.
When he was test driving it, the truck would not go into reverse. I believe my brother said he had to adjust the idle so it would go into reverse and actually move without trying to die. It also would not go into 4 HI or LO. He said that he found that the vacuum line to the front diff and/or transfer case were non existence.
I don't know what transmission it has, but it does not really want to downshift, at least not at part throttle. I'm pretty sure it's the TV cable, but we haven't go that far yet.
The coolest thing I like about this is the exhaust. It has dual Borla mufflers and it sounds niiiice. We definitely turn some heads when driving this around town.
