Re: 49/54 LS driver

I lost a bunch of pics but there are still some in the photobucket link in my sig. More are being put in as time allows. Here's the bed. Polished stainless strips and wood I got from home depot and cut, routed, sanded, stained and finished in the driveway.

I ended up using a Jeep wrangler gas tank out back with a modified BMW fuel pump mounted internally. I love the power and smoothness of the LS. So far I've got almost 500 miles on the truck since road worthy and havent had a major hiccup. The exhaust guy bent the tailpipes too close to the axle, and I still have so many parts to get it closer to done, but getting it on the road was the turning point for this dream of driving an AD truck. Ive been working toward this for 15 years with 3 different heaps of truck parts and rust. It will be painted some day but I have several other distractions.
