For those of you who know, I have been working on getting Blacky, the 1970 short/step I bought from LUV, for about a year now

, and now I can finally get started!!! The plans for her changed when I picked up a Corvette IFS when I was down in Cali picking her up, so now I have complete Corvette drivetrain: 1986 TPI, 1986 Doug Nash 4+3, 1986 Corvette IFS, and 1969 Corvette IRS. Now the plan is to build a Corvette in truck's clothing

, and whoop on some imports at the local 1.5 mile road race course

. I have a 1967 GMC cab and clip for her, but I am in the market for a step bed. Craig is a great guy, and I definately got what I paid for: a 1967-72 short coil spring frame

! Saying the truck is in rough shape right now is a bit of an understatement

, but I bought the truck for the frame.....already sold the hood, back glass, chunks of the rear fenders, and the tranny out of her, so I pretty much made my money back, too! Don't want to give the wrong idea, Craig is a great guy to deal with, and I am perfectly happy with what i got

! So, as I swap the Corvette IFS and IRS in, I'll keep taking pictures and explaining what I do as it goes together!
