Truck
O.K. Here's what I've got. Grampa's 72 Short Step Side. Med. Red, I-6, 3spd manual, wood bed farm truck.
Here's what I'm gonna do. Ground up redo, 454/400 and keep it looking mostly stock. |

It's always good to start with something that has been in the family, that way you can justify dumping all of your money into it. Keep us up on it
