newbie pics
Finally....I have my project truck! It took two weeks for the guy to make up his mind, but 10 Franklins was all it took
 ! This is my father/son winter/spring/summer/fall project (however long it takes). It is a 69 step/swb with 350/350 combo. I thought the truck was running but I couldn't get it to crank for the life me. No compression, smoke from valve covers...yep new rings. But I hope to make a daily driver out of it in the future. My son is 11 now, so it may be his first vehicle. Anyway, love the site and I know I will have a ton of Q's for you guys to help me out with.

Welcome. Looks like a great project for you and the son. Mine is 5 and slowly looking more at helping. We'll see if he has dad's piston head genes
