I was at the radio observatory in Green Bank, WV last July and saw 3 or 4 '71-2 Burbs in the back lot. All C10's painted blue, with "8-350" badges on the fender but a cord hanging out of the grille as to indicate a block heater. All vehicles at the observatory are diesel because spark ignition creates interference with the telescope, so I'm wondering what's under the hood. Anybody know more about them?
