49/54 LS driver

I figured after several years of lurking and learning, it may be time to at least start a thread on where my truck is NOW> So, there is a huge separation between what you "plan to do" and what you actually do.
My truck is a mutt. It was assembled by me using whatever I thought was cool or was handy at the time. Ive had to back track a few times and learned that the cheap or easy way isn't always an option.
For starters, its a 1949 3100 with a 54 cab and bed. Ive always preferred the one piece windshield. This is the day I dragged it home. The PO installed a camaro clip and rear end.
I initially started building it with a TBI 305 and 700r4 with a fuel cell mounted in the rear. It was all but drivable, It just couldnt seem to go all the way around the block on its own. Fed up, yanked it out and decided that I needed clarity. And a much newer fuel injection setup. Bought a 5.3 LS out of an 02 silverado and 4l60e trans.
