Yeah....I have a feeling a LS drivetrain will come sooner, rather than later. Hoping to be able to hold off until next winter so I can do my dropmember and brakes all at the same time. We'll see.
Spent most of the weekend out in the garage working on the truck, watching basketball/football, and recycling glass bottles

It was nice and well deserved with the last couple of weeks I've been having with work.
Progress:
Finished de-tinting windows. I must be getting old because the first thing I used to always do to a vehicle was tint the windows.
Stripped the front and rear bumpers and primered them white as a temporary fix to make the truck look better. Bumpers were in amazing shape with no rust at all. Bad thing is with the contrasting color, I didn't realize how bent they were until now. Guess I'll add that to the growing list.
Been working on the interior getting it where I want. Someone had glued carpet to the original vinyl mat at one time. That's been a whole lot of fun. It's getting there though.
Next up is paint the grill hoops and insides white, new dash bulbs, swap out seats, and fix a few minor issues to finish out the interior. At least for now.
On with the pics. Nothing too cool but shows progress. Had to snap a couple of pics with the blue truck before it goes away.
