OK guys, just for fun I'm going to try to post some pictures of a started and finished project. The twist about this is you do some detective work and guess as to what it ended up as when it was finished. It may have turned out as the obvious first pictures hinted, or ..........................
Anyway, here are the first "Clue" pics.

4wd GMC or Chevy truck, Olds powered?

Nice first guess! Better than warm, but not hot yet.

Octania

Toronado with dish brakes and a later smogger 307?

oh, started out very different...

uhm, Either mid-engine vehicle with RWD via Toro driveline or a trike.

oldcutlass

Olds Bravada with a V8. Prop from the movie Jaws?

Toronado .......................yep, as a starting point.

Another tid-bit clue.

My wife had a 85 Riviera with an Olds 307.

Early 70's GMC motorhome?

Well, I know the motor is hard to see under that cover, but it is not a 307. Here is a newer picture of the project completed. So, what motor is it and what is the vehicle? I'll post the pic of what it is tonight. Lets see who comes closest. Any guess of the year?

Bracket looks 64-65!

It's a Vista Cruiser body with a 403 on a Toro chasis?

Hope you paid the 100.00 for the whole engine and not just the alt ! Sorry couldn't resist .

LOL, I figured someone would see that $100 alternator. Hey, these days you get parts where ever you can. Actually, that alternator was made by a local shop here. They charge $1 per amp and this car needed 100 amps to run the electric fans, stereo, etc. Here it is guys. Toronado drive train, 455 toronado motor, grafted on to the front of a 1976 El Camino. Thanks for playing along.

El Torino, I thought it might be a Vista by the fender braces.

Or ...... El Camado, either way it is a fun truck. A friend of mine built this years ago, so no, it isn't mine. The thing works great in the snow with the front wheel drive, until you have a good sized load in the back. Here is one last picture of the floor board. Nice roomy cab with no hump.
