Would be nice if it were a needle-nose?? That’s an old (‘70s-80s, you can’t pinpoint by looking outside) long-nose 359, the coolest truck ever built! 359s are narrower than modern 379 and 389s and have the vintage style without being too horrible to drive, although the hvac still kind of sucks.
If it were a ‘60s 309 it might be cool looking but have you ever driven one? It would be a nightmare to drive. It would have an under-300 hp motor, no power steering, probably a pain in the butt trans setup like a 5 & 4, no air ride, etc. You can’t get enough radiator in a 309 to cool a bunch of power.
That rig is about as cool as it can be! Love it!!
