    I had a lot of fun with the 1968 and 1969 PL520( CORRECTION: PL521 NODEL with the straight fenders) pickups. One had a 302 Ford with a C-4 trans and Torino rear axle, another was a high performance 327 4-speed and then a 4x4 with 1980 Toyota pickup drive train. 🙂 I have a 1997 GL1500 with 53,000 miles, but nearly impossible to find decent 520 bodies, especially with the pointed fender lights.
