no, its the same truck i've had since April (the blue 86 that is) i've located a '79 K20 frame with axles, and i picked up my TH350/NP203 today. i'll probably try to go get the frame next weekend, if its still there (no place to store it right now) once i do that i'll paint it (might as well make it easier to clean up later) and put the body on. trans and case will probably be installed as is after a little clean up. plans are for a body lift so i dont have to hack my floorboards too bad, 6" springs up front, 2" springs or blocks in the rear, and a 4" shackle flip. Swampers in the range of 35-38" should do me quite nicely. oh yeah, the 305 will go away, and be replaced by my Vortec 5.7 too
