I'm looking at a 1979 Chevy Scottsdale K30 (1 ton, 4x4) pickup truck. It's an extremely low mile truck (16k miles) as it's being retired from a Fire Station.
What do you guys knows about these 400 CID small blocks? From what I read, they were prone to over-heating due to no water jackets between all the cylinders. Is this right? What else can you tell me about this truck or this engine? It comes mated with a 3-speed TH400 transmission, a NP205 transfer case, and heavy duty 1-ton axles.
What are your opinions on this truck? Experiences?
