Be aware there are difference in heights for the flare side beds. The 66 4x4's bed was taller than my 65 short bed.

Those were pretty common in the early 70's when I was stationed in Germany. Check out the RO80 didn't sell well with the Wankel engine, so they sold the rights to japan.

I am planning on using a mega squirt computer but I also am doing so because I am planning on some high performance up grades in the future. I do not see any reason you couldn't use the complete underhood wiring from a efi truck and run the stock computer.

I have seen the dyno tests that Hawk rod speaks of, believe it or not one of the best all around manifolds was one I have used since the '60's. The Edelbrock streetmaster a single plane small runner manifold. The Icemans wife had one on a mild 352 that ran pretty well.

Nice looking Victoria. I believe the crown designation did not start until '55 when they added the chrome tiara to the roof. First year for the Y block and ball joint front suspension.
