Thanks Guys, The history is that I bought it from a local guy that had it about 6 years ago and it was in ok shape, typical rust, 350, auto, 4 inch lift and 35's. I drove it around like that for the summer and that winter i put 3/4 ton axles under it with a 8" sky jacker lift and 38" swampers. drove it around for awhile longer and the 350 took a dump so I had a 383 from another truck I used to own and I rebuilt it and ran it for another few years. About three years ago I decided I wanted to fix the rust before the truck fell apart and it would not be salvagable. As I took it apart it became clear to me the rust was more extensive than I had thought. I almost scrapped the truck and parted it out when I found a full nearly rust free tub. I bought the tub and began working on the new body. My dad an I worked on it on the weekends and when he retired about a year and half ago he spent alot of time doing the body work and helped finish it up.

My original plan was to build it to use offroad and as we worked on restoring it the project got out of hand and I kept doing more and more to it until it became what you see now. It was back on the road last June just in time for the Hot Rod Power Tour. My dad and I wrenched on it the night before we were supposed to leave to meet up with the tour in Roanoke Va. which is a 6 hour drive. Needless to say it worked out great and we drove from Roanoke to Englishtown NJ and back home in 4 days and had a blast, it was about a 1400 mile trip.

Thats it in a nutshell.
