Floormat removal revealed rust through in floor pan. Any ideas on floor and door patch panels, also looking for a new floor covering. Any ideas besides LMC? Thanks for the help everyone.
I feel complete again now that I have an old truck in the driveway.(some kind of sickness I guess).
Here's the big question. Now that I am back into the old truck scene I want to finish an idea I've had brewing since 1985 when I had my first rig (68 SWB). I want to build a 67 (no side markers, sloped hood etc.) shorty with a built 292 straight 6. Now I know I may be putting the cart before the horse here but I just found a 292 locally for $40. Now I just need the 67. My question is this. Does anyone have info on rebuilding these old chevy 6 bangers and how to get more power out of them? Performance parts?
Thanks for the good advice so far.
