Sorry, guess I could have included a little more info.
I bought the truck when I was 15 for $500, and I've owned it for 16 years now. I put a 350 small block in it with a Turbo 350 Trans. The rear end is out of a 1976 Camaro and has the stock Camaro gears (can't remember the ratio I'd have to look it up). I used an adapter kit to put the Camaro disc brakes on the stock front spindles and a power brake booster to complete the brake system. Then installed a painless wiring kit to convert it to 12V. I added a GM tilt steering column and power steering unit to finish off the steering. And then got started on the body work by creating a seamless hood and my own design to finish off the back of the truck (tailights, rear bumper, etc.) Had to install multiple patch panels because of rust as well. I consider it a work in progress though, there's still a lot of things I would like to do with it. Soon I will be looking for some expert advice here on upgrading the suspension as well as steering for the front end....to be continued.
