    I had a 85 Chevy C10 with 305 new in 85. It was the bigest gutless wonder I ever owned It would tow forward fair at best but with a trailer you couldn't get it to go in reverse. Just no guts

    Since you're new to this, I'll rattle your brain a little. Cut the front frame rails off at the firewall and weld on the front clip from a '74-'76 Cadillac Eldorado. Front wheel drive and 500 cubic inches can't be wrong.
