Just purchased for a tow rig and utility truck. Has 112k, 454 th400, 4.10 rear 2wd. Power windows, locks, a/c and p/s. Previous owner put headers on it. Drove it home from VA. Paid $2000 for her. Needs some TLC. Looking forward to making some new friends here while refurbishing and upgrading. It runs great considering low horsepower, anemic compares to my 2002 2500 Suburban with an 8.1 and 4 sod auto.

Very nice, with my 454 I found that advancing the timing is what woke it up the most, and I picked up an mpg (not bad when 10 was the before). Think I was at like 12° initial, dunno what my total timing was.

I drive the 62, but I have seen me buddies down south that are in Florida. I would have to trailer it because I can't buy VP110 at the gas stations!
