    Save the motor for a rebuild, then part out the rest. Even the tow bumper and lights are worth money. Like the videos Sir, keep them coming.

    them square body GMs trucks are real easy to work on they now now come in a little cheap Chevy go by 10,20,30 and GMC go by 15,25,35 the C model are 2wd and the K model are 4wd. my dad had a 1973 GMC Sierra C-15 standard cab p/u with a 1968 or 69 Corvette Stingray 327 C.I engine and a Turbo 350 auto trans and install Lincoln town car wheels on the truck. the Lincoln car wheels just fit right on in with no mod work don't ask how cause when my mom drove it to work back in 1995 and her co-worker saying that ain't right a car wheel can't fit on a truck. in late 1996 my dad traded the truck to a 1974 Dodge Custom W-100 know as Power Wagon pick-up with a 318 and a 727 auto.

    I'd have bought the 2 Corvairs! But, since, you did go down to Sherman, TX. and it is a square body Chevy! It's easy to see if the engine is locked up or not, maybe, the rat shit didn't get thru the Q-jet. You've got plenty of Chevy parts around your lot! You've got tires! Oh, you're gonna part it out, at least, you're not gonna crush it. Otherwise, I'd say, call Classic truck rescue he saves trucks !!

    I'm sure someone could use the bed.
    You say it's only a 305, but you only have a straight Six in your Nova, if you look at it that way.
    I had a 84 Z-28 305 when I was 19, I smoked an IROC and he tried to run me into a pole. I got him back good though. I'm think those only came with 350's.
    Try to Get it running for us viewers, I mean it's a reman and the truck was wrecked, that motor may be low miles and have good cylinders. If you have a boroscope run it down the cylinders. If not through a battery in it and run a compression check. Maybe even pull the heads to check the cylinders. The Only really bad sign I seen was that low oil. As long as it has good compression. If it Spins it Wins!

      A Camaro, Nova, Chevelle is worth a whole lot more with a 350 than a 305 in it. A 305 is not worth messing with unless there's no 350s to be had. I happen to have one waiting for a project car.
