Howdy from the WA cascade mtns. A 350 with a 4l80e? Must be a swap and if so, you are a lucky guy, fine trans and looks like a great rig. Like that you use it!!
Also...since the 4l80e is electronic, you would need some kind of controller. What is your controller, or is it a TH400, and not a 4l80e

Welcome - that is an Awesome truck. More pics please, and lets know what are you plans for it ? We are planning to do a dually to single rear wheel axle swap on our crew cab over Christmas for my son's work truck. It is a factory 454 with TBI and a turbo 400. Would be real interested to know what sort of performance / fuel useage you are seeing out of that combo, as we are looking at powertrain options too. Very cool ...

Also assuming its not a '74 model ?..

It's a '91, last year of the squarebody, I keep it close to stock and the small block is adequate for my usage, I replaced the catalytic converter with a high flow piece and gained almost 2 mpg, it gets almost 14 on the highway at 75 and no headwind and has dipped well into the single digits at 80+ with headwind, it could definitely benefit from a big block but I really like it just the way it is.
