Hey guys i thought i would start a build thread i have had this 78 for about 2 years and been doing things to it ever sence it has a 80s 350 that i am changing to a bored out 383 to a 70s 350. rust has almost just about took this truck over the body was in pretty good shape besides the fenders and the passengers door the rockers was not bad when i got it but now sence the weather it has got worse the same goes for the floor, cab corners,the dash was not good so i took it out and scraped it and also the bed was scraped becuase of it being a 80s bed anyway i am now working on the floor because of rust and as some of you know becuase of the hump i will be cutting it out and fixing it and cleaning up the rust and painting and soon taking off the cab off so i can get to the frame and tear down

Lookin good.. Keep us posted on this thing..

Looking good.

Mind if I move this over to the 4x4 builds?

i'll leave if here though if you want.. we are trying to build the 4x4 section with appropriate builds.

yea man you can move it

ok i got the rest cut out and what a hack job lol man. i think i might find a 4x4 cab and cut the hump out of it or maybe just find a new cab who knows but i should in the next week clean up the rust and paint it.
