Anyone got input on this? These two aren't the same anyone have a reasoning why theyd be different?

Side note
picked up a oil dipstick last night and got a set of wire looms to hold the wires away from the headers.

well here it is guys, sorry its been a bit since ive updated this. finally finished it on Sept 2nd and brought it home, but it still wasnt running 100% right, (we had tried getting new carb gaskets and tried tweaking the carb and nothing worked), so we took it back to our buddies house and all he did was put the old original carb., (that came with the truck when it was bought) back on it and it fired up and idled great.

onto pics
Got the heads back and started reassembling the motor.

heres the finished product (shes real spunky now and lays down rubber when you gas it from a stop and will burn rubber, only thing that needs to be put on is the kick-down (needs some sort of clip)

taken today bc i wasnt fortunate enough to be home when it got fully running (meaning i wasnt home when the original carb was put back on it and it started idleing and running right.)

Thanks man! I just got back home from being in colorado for the past two weeks and right when i got home from the airport my sister had to go somewhere and i was like ill take you im driving the truck! Man i tell ya that thing is so much more responsive and spunky!

Hey guys, have a 67 c10 with a freshly rebuilt 327 and it also has the 2 speed power glide tranny, the trans wasn't messed with when the motor was rebuilt.

I started noticing that while driving right before it shifts it acts as if its in neutral and the rpms go up then it seems to catch the gear and shift. Wasn't positive if it was due to the kick-down not being attached on the carb and perhaps its stuck or what the problem could be?

any advice would help!

Update:

So i went to autozone today to pickup some bulbs for my 95 and before i can even get out of the truck theres a guy at my window asking how much i want for the truck, i looked at him and said well its not really for sale so i cant say. He said not really for sale or it isnt for sale? I told him that it wasnt really 100% mine and we continued to talk about the truck, showed him the dented passenger bedside where a lady blindsided me in the school parking lot, and opened the hood and eventually he got my number, not sure if he will call (ill have my dad answer and talk to him).

What would yall pay for a truck like this?
#s matching truck, freshly rebuilt 327 sbc with a 2speed power glide trans. Drum brakes great tires, nice 15in wheels
does need new passenger bedside, a little clearcoat peel on hood,

My dad was thinking 7-8k i was thinking 8-10k is that too much?

Heres some pics from today!
