The "progress" is about to slow considerably. I kept my expectations realistic and went into the project thinking I would keep/salvage the motor in the truck I purchased (especially if original) and get the truck driveable and wheels/tires out of the way first.

Saving for tires now then drop and seat cover. Looking into how I'm going to handle rust repair now. Man, I hate that stuff!

Also, I have to keep it in my head that this will likely never be a show truck - just a cool driver.

Oh, and the LT1/4l60e combo sounds cool! If I ever do an engine swap, I'll likely go LS.
