Dump the Blue Flame six in favor of a small block Chevrolet "Crate" engine. Put a turbo 350 or 400 trans behind it. There are mounting kits available for this conversion. Find an original bed on E-Bay. Put a dropped spindle front axle and go for an upgraded interior. You could easily have a classic "rod" for a few thousand bucks. The value of those trucks here in So Cal is as high as 25 grand.
