Well it's finally about that time to get this project on the road. I have been researching, collecting parts and what not for the past year. This site has been invaluable to a lot of the research that I did. So, with no further a do, here we go.
Truck is a 1970 that I have had for ruffly 6 years now. Since I have had it, just did minor stuff to it to get it running and look decent. Most wast just simple cosmetic stuff. the paint is not perfect, if fact it was painted by a student as a project. It's a 10-15 footer. Interior wise, i put new carpet, 2001 Silverado power seats and a little Chrome. It has a little massaged 350 with 350 turbo in it now. Thats about all that has been done to date.
The ultimate goal is a Pro-Touring build, but time and $$ will dictate how fast and much I do. Hopefully I will get close. Keep in mine, this will be a driver and not a show car. I plan on driving it hard with another goal of taking it on the 2013 Power Tour.
Well, here we go...
