Thats probably what I'll end of doing.

Two years ago? Man, I told him if he ever sold it to let me know! At least it's in really good hands now! I take it he never actaully got it running?

I guess I was in the right place at the right time and he gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. He did throw in the seats and a ton of other parts. I found a set of buddy buckets and sold the other ones. He did get it running and then tore it all apart to do the chassis and that's the way it sat until I bought it.

Well we made a little progress today. We almost got the front clip pulled off, so we can pull the motor/tranny out. Then we'll remove the old chassis so the cab will be ready to put back on the new frame once its blasted and painted. Speaking of drivetrain, since I'm going a different direction with my 68, my son mentioned putting the LS1 with the 4L60E in his truck. He likes the thought of paddle shifters (he got this from his XBOX or maybe TopGear????) and we found this cool setup online thanks to another boardmember:

http://www.tciauto.com/tc/shifters/paddle.html.

Has anyone tried this? Thoughts? He really likes the idea of a 6speed, but the paddle shifter is pretty cool. I gave him this week to think about it, because one of the engines has to go.

I also put one of the Coys wheels off of the suburban on his chassis. He really likes the way it looks, so we'll probably go that route. Here's some pics...
