Nice find!! What about the house projects and moving? Or has that been put on hold?
I'd look into a chev 5.3 V8 swap, those motors are getting some good mpg! A buddy is getting 20+ in a 1/2 ton 4x4 on the hwy!
I can see it now. The Willy pulling the Willy! Would be cheaper on gas than the LBC. But the LBC has all the creature comforts. That would be a tough call.
