Brian,
I cannot say anything about the quadrajet, but as for the long bed I
have to agree that I like them. They may not look as sporty or as good
with the 'down in the dirt' look, but I like them. Several people have
told me that I need to shorten the bed. Also, they are much better for a
working truck. I haul a lot of things in my truck and a long bed is much
superior. Don't pay much attention to what others may think. Do what you
like! After all, it is your truck.

hi all,
my '57 is a long bed,. its a 3200 and has the longest of the 3 bed lengths
that were produced then, also, i have a quadrajet on my 355. most everyone
i
know who is into cars and such says long beds arent worth anything. has
anyone else had people tell them this? why? personally, i like the long
beds
a LOT more than the shorties,. theyre good, but the long beds look more
proportional to the length of the cab.
most people i know also say quadrajets are "quadrapukes" and
"quadratoilets"
why? mine works perfectly, even having never been rebuild, i get 20mpg on
mid grade gas, and theres still plenty of power in it. whats so bad with
them?
one last question,.. will a '70s 350 water pump create too much presure for
a stock heater core? i have my original to truck, non-leaking,
non-corroded
heater core, and am wondering if i could hook it up straight to my water
pump, of if i should put something in the feed line to keep pressure down.
thanks.
