That's a black beauty there eddie. Looks like the suspension is dialed in as well.
I always swayed away from Mopar when it came to old trucks, don't know why? Of course I wasn't the die-hard then like now.
My first Mope had a M1 intake on it and I wanted a factory look so I ditched it. Went out on the interstate and ran a state trooper's kid in his fastback Fairlane with a Cobra Jet motor and he soundly beat me. The previous owner and I resoundly put the M1 back on to try and keep the "one of the fastest cars in town" title in tact.
And I'd take the vert with the hardware sticking out of the hood.
