    Yeah, I know, kinda confused.

    I'm selling off my 74 Challenger & 73 RoadRunner.  But then I saw thin in an auction ad and I can't resist.

    I can't tell by the tiny pics, but being 57 it should be a 392.

    If it comes down to me thinking it's a 392 and CP thinking it's a 354, I'll put my money on it being a 354.

    Al,

    Usually around here, older dump trucks don't go for much, insurance is usually more than the truck.  Last auction I went to, the Ford dump truck, a late 60s or 70s truck, went for less than $800.  If I go to this one, it'll probably go for 2 - 3 grand.

    I can get you  I think its a 341 hemi that runs perfect and has never been over 1500 rpms. It came out of an airport plane tugger mobile here in my town. My friend said 1500 bucks buys it.  This runs like a top and it has a 1500 rpm govenor still hooked to the carb
