That's a light truck, would make good cheap drag rig. You could v8 swap that thing for dirt, especially if you can read wiring diagrams.
I bet it is missing rocker panels and cab corners and wheel arches and lots more though. Body mounts, look at them. Frame twist, shot body, lolol

Wiring on these truck is easy
V8S10.ORG ? View topic - 1rst gen schematics and firewall connections info
Theyre bolted on, but yea the bushings and pins wear out and they sag. Its so common theyre in the help section at autozone/oreily, its not too bad, takes a half hour or so.
-v8 swap $2k for gen1 SBC
-rear end: they came with 7.5" 10 bolt rears. Some last forever under constant 500hp launches, some grenade going to the grocery store, run it till it blows. pull the 3rd leaf in the spring pack, install SADFAB "caltracs" and drag shocks. Fit 275 tires easily, 285 with the right wheels or 305 or more if you want to trim the bed. $800
-safety stuffs
go drag racing
optional- hi_im_sean big brake kit and rear blazer disc swap

like i said, if you do it right, and thats not going to be a fire breathing monster by any stretch
j/y vortec motor with a 700r4 or 4l60 can be had for $800, get the ecm and harness for another $100. swap headers and motor mounts $250. you dont need an oil pan, it just make s it easier and requires less hammer. Run your own exhaust, shorten driveshaft, j/y cross member from 4.3 truck, fuel odds and ends another $5-600
edit- radiator too

I wouldn't waste time on a smallblock, just shove a 5.3 in there. They are cheaper than the old vortec smallbocks anymore anyway. I don't think they really cost much more, if you can weld at least.
You can get stainless shorty manifolds for $200, oil pan, you've got a tig. Motor mounts aren't more than $200. A 5.3 and 4l60 is $1k around here.
Do itt!
