Well is starts, Here is what we got so far. According to the VIN the cab started life as a 3200, 1/2 ton longbed. Somewhere along the way a shortbed frame was added along with pieces of the shortbed tin. I'm not sure if all the bed parts are there but will deal with that at a later date. All in all the truck is in pretty good shape for bein 51 years old, no cancer on the cab or fenders. We picked it up with no engine or tranny so we have a blank canvas for that. We have decided to use the engine in the T-bucket for her, a Dart 383 roller/stroker with 2500 miles on it and pushin 400+ hp and about the same tq.

I have located a 350 and trans on craigslist that is still in the frame from an 82 Firebird, so I'm tryin to make a deal for the whole frame and running gear right now, and will probably use the front clip for a graph. I know that pics are important so I will post the pics of the engine and the truck will be later today.
