my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

I should have parted that last truck and scrapped what was left. What did luckily sell it for what I wanted but never again...
If I come across a 73 or 74 Power Wagon club cab crew cab long bed I may start my own truck for myself...
Actually, I don't think you rated that sale fair. You tried selling it while the world was on lock-down with COVID, and jobs had stopped, uncertainty everywhere, and you STILL sold it. Really, you should reconsider your feelings about that sale.
