A blessing in disguise

[byates2]

About 9 months ago I was in an accident and my truck got all messed up. I was pretty pissed especially having to battle the insurance company for a good settlement. Well finally we settled and got almost 3000 for it. Now i'm getting a new 350 engine and getting the stock 283 out of here, with performance heads a 750 cfm edelbrock carb and down the line a performance camshaft and a new 700R4 Tranny with overdrive replacing the stock powerglide, i'm fixing her up with power brakes/steering, redoing the front end, complete electrical of the truck, new gauges, seat re-upholstered, etc. I got the bed off and i'm re-doing all the wood. This is gonna be one sweet truck when i get done with her. I used to love classic cars/trucks before but now that i got a major project on my hands, i'm considering a career with this
