I bought this truck for $150 and a 286 Computer in 1989 while I was stationed in Long Beach. When I returned from Desert Storm I dropped a '79 350 4bolt in it till 1997 when I parked it in the garage. 10 years later, I have tore it down to the frame and started to rebuild it.

Here's the engine compartment in 1992

The plan is to put a Heidts IFS in for the front and then send the frame off for cleaning and powdercoating. My D50 Nikon takes good pictures, but I need to resize them a bit. More to come later.

Edit 12/28/08 - I have scratched the Heidts IFS for a '78 Camaro Subframe.
