Thanks guys

Ill definitely check out that site.

Im new to the whole truck scene but Ive been working on cars pretty much my old life, Im only 18 and me and my friends are pretty much the only kids into muscle cars, Im really into the old school stuff
Im going to school in upstate,ny and I came across it, its been sitting in this guys yard for like 20 years or so. He said he was planning on cutting it up and making a trailer out of it, but I cant let that happen so he said hed take scrap value for it. The bodies pretty rusty but Im gonna leave it how it is, maybe do some pinstriping and paint some logo on the side and fade it, Its got a six cyl/ and a three speed on the floor but im going to replace them with a mild sbc (probably a 350 or 327) and a 4 speed. I had thoughts of dropping in a fuel injected lt1 or maybe an ls based motor but i might just keep it simple. My plans are to drop it, I have a set of old cragar mags im gonna put on it. The interior suprisingly is pretty clean, so its gonna get some old sun gauges and a slew of other old school speed parts ive been saving. Im currently working on finding a garage so I can work on it without getting frozen
Ill try and get some pics of it tommarrow.
