nice starter. I will be honest with you, everyones comments so far are spot on. So i will tell you i have a truck that started a bit worse off from yours, but it was a long bed 69 CST, turbo 400 and 350 v8. it is now slightly changed. It is now a short bed truck with the same tranny rebuilt and same motor modified. i did a complete frame off resto and i will tell you know, if you do not have alot of time and money, do not attempt a full rebuld from the frame up. it is expensive and very time comsuming if you do it right.
either way, there is alot of people on here who have a vast amount of knowledge to help you. They helped me and still do today. so if you are unsure what to do while you are working on this truck, search for your answers first, then if you do not find the answer, ask. Good Luck!!
