In 2013, I got this truck....
By the condition, you can tell it was an "Old Man's Truck". I stripped off the trim, camper shell, flares and did the bodywork...
I added the 1977-78 grille because I like that style better.
It is an original 440 and was originally a 4 speed. I converted it to a 727 automatic.
Since the transmission swap, the speedometer has not worked. The transfer case is original and the speedometer cable attached there originally and after the swap. I put the end of the cable in a drill and confirmed that the speedometer gauge does work. There is something wrong with the drive mechanism inside the transfer case.
Who has experience with this? It would be nice to have a working speedometer.
