Looking great so far. I'm doing a cheap mild just-the-bed-off resto myself. I can't afford much into my project because I won't pull monies from our household budget. LMC and O'Reillys are still getting a lot of my spare change these days. I've sold guitars and amps and traded a '96 GMC Jimmy etc. to get me to where I'm at now. My '84 Silverado shortbed is ready for body work now after I sorted out a ton of engine(305) work so I will be watching this thread closely.
BTW...PLEASE keep the rally rims and center caps.
Here's a before and after of the engine compartment...
