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!!

A little off topic but, uh no, that's not a 359. It is indeed a model 379 long hood 127"bbc. Not enough pics to tell about what year though. All he did is swap (one change) to single round headlights from the factory dual square to change the looks up a bit.

One of the easiest ways to tell a 359 is to look where the air cleaners enter, on a 359 it is a cut out in the hood. 379 is direct into the cowl. A lot of other differences of course. Windshield is another easy one. :)
