Judging by the grill it looks like 72-77.

You might want to post this in that section. They can tell you for sure.

Good luck with your new project.

yeh its a 72-77. And to help out on how much you should give for it. it would depend on the motor it has in it. probably either a 351 or 460 is my guess. and there is an awful lot of rust are you ready to fix the rust problem before it basically destroys the truck

door tag will tell you what it came with. need an engine number to double check. unless its an FE block then you'll have to measure the stroke.
