[Blainq17]

Gonna try to get moving on this truck again and keep some momentum. Picked up a step side bed for this pickup with minimal rust (in the dark). Got it in the sun light and decided that I can’t bring myself to paint it so I patched some very small rust spots and straightened everything out as best I could. I plan to lay on some clear coat eventually but I wanna get the floor pans done on the cab and start trying to match the patina of the bed and then clear coat it all at once. I’ve decided I’m going to attempt to do the floor pans, rockers, etc. myself this winter. We’ll see how it goes. Also changing direction on the drivetrain slightly. Snagged a junk 454 that my pops had laying around and I’m gonna start working on a pump gas 496 build with that. Also going to use a TH400 I have laying around for a trans. I’m very terrible about taking pictures so I’ll post what I’ve got and try to get more as I go!
