Interesting. A 300 six, Offy intake, Clifford valve cover, Autolite or Holley carb, and an 85/86 tailgate panel.

Such a neat truck... here are some of the pics in case anyone finds this thread after the auction is over 😉. The tailgate lettering and fender flare openings look to me like it has a stretched bricknose DRW bed.

Drivetrain reminds me of a C series that my buddy had. Yup, 300 six. Truck had a van body and could manage 55 mph at best. Supposedly, original use was city deliveries. He used it to haul band gear all around the Canadian prairies and as far east as Thunder Bay, Ontario. Never let him down. Still has it to this day, but it is now storage.

Seeing that pickup bed is giving me crazy ideas again. I have a 66 N500 cab sitting around. Hmmm.
