"Troll Mater" 68 sleeper build

hey guys, new here. could have sworn I was already registered here but apparently not. anyways wanted to post up a little about my build I am entering the finishing stages of. truck is a 68 short stepper I pulled out of a field for $400 a couple of years ago and did a full frame-off resto on. swapped in full 72 power disc brakes, 3.73 posi 12 bolt, 5 lug, and hydroboost brake system from my dad's old truck. now I have swapped in a 5.3 LM7 from a 99 silverado and a muncie HM290 5 speed. finally got it all up and basically running but still got alot more to go. next it will be receiving a single 76mm turbo and supporting fuel system. truck currently sits at 2550 lbs ALL STEEL. I was rather shocked to see it this light, but very happy. I have performed all work myself in a single car carport. the goal is to have an old beater truck that noone will think twice about, even after looking it over. until they see it lay down a high 9 second pass. yet maintian some streetability as I do plan to drive the truck semi-locally on occasion. here's some pics and a vid of my first start. let me know what you guys think
