I think the truck sits on a Nova (or some kind of Chevy) front clip and is powered by an sbc with automatic and a Ford 9" rear. I drove the truck up to the Breakfast Club and it is a nice driver. I’m sure Don will have a lot of fun with it.

SBC in my view is actually OK. The SBC IMO is the second most significant V8 in mass production. Don's truck just looks right. Since it's a good driver I hope he enjoys it. Does he want to bring it to New England in August?
