well project is underway... i got the bed off and torn apart. the front clip is stripped. and now the engine is about to be taken out... it's to bad that the engine has to be screwed up. that truck is all origional. i notice that the front half of the frame is in excelent condition. the rear is in good condition but has some minor need of some help, although is strong enouph to deal with what ever i need it to do. i found the cab corners were rusted out and filled with puddy along with small holes in the floorboard near the front fenders. (that sucks.) every thing else is in good shape the cab is strong and looks good as far as the parts that didn't get filled with puddy. i guess i got a little work ahead of me. but hopefully it wont be too bad... wish me luck.

oh, any sugestions of what engine/tranny/rearend combo i should get? i was thinking of a motown 427 sb. 600 hp and 575 torque.
