I'd punt the DRW stuff also Would be very nice restored.
Have the engine stamping number from the front pad? Or the casting code?

Looks like TKA on the pad.

It would be a nice one to bring back to its original glory.

Also, 2-jet Rochesters could be found on big block engines, so if the engine is a 454, it probably came that way, and was installed as a complete assembly.

And, yes, that is a nicely optioned truck!

Yes it is a 2bbl, no reason to think it is a 454.

Under hood is still the original color. It had a color change many years ago it appears.
