Now that I have a new daily driver, I am ready to start making some improvments on the old 72. Here is where I stand. The body is all in all pretty straight. It only has some minor rust over the rear fenders. I had the cab corners replaced in the spring after some @ss hole rear ended me. While his insurance was paying to get the bed straighted and back of cab painted, all I had to pay was $160 for both corners.

Anyhow, the body and interior are good. What I really need some ideas about is what I can do with my engine. It is an all original 350, that to the best of my knowledge has never been rebuilt. What are some inexpensive things that I can do to improve the performance. I finally have time to work on it now that I don't have to worry about getting back together by Monday.

Thanks for the help.
