Project Big Green 71 Wiener
Here is my project. I bought this truck from a friends' father 17 years ago. I am the 2nd owner. I drove it around town for a few years and ended up blowing out the rearend, it has been sitting in some back acreage now for about 10 years rotting away. Finally, the resurrection begins. These are from November after the first week in the shop tearing down and some sanding. Bed looks terrible from all the years of rain water sitting.

Re: Project Big Green 71 Wiener
Due to all the rust and pitting in the bed, I decided to go with RAPTOR™: Bed Liner. I've seen some horrific spray-ons before and have heard good things about this product even tho it's from the UK and not USA made.

Re: Project Big Green 71 Wiener
Does anyone know the easiest way to determine engine size? When I purchased this truck, I was told it was the original engine but had 10k on being rebuilt. And if memory serves me right, during the rebuild it was stroked to 383. Is there a way to tell what exactly it is without having to tear anything down?

Re: Project Big Green 71 Wiener
A year and a half later. If you're not an OU fan, ignore the tag! Lots of little details left, funding issues. You guys know how that goes.
