Hello from south east Texas

[Tiger Hays]

Hello I am Tiger Hays,I live south of Houston down by the water. I do alot of trout fishing and I build Jeeps.I havent owned a 67-72 Chevy for about 25 yrs now untill today!
About 25 yrs ago I went to North side ofDallas to pick up a 65 4x4 lifted blah blah blah,it was a POS.On my way back threw Dallas I stopped at a shop to look at a 57 conv. I ended up with a 69 Swb 396 fleet side with a wood bed,auto a/c the works.Sold it in a pinch up in Arkansas a few years later and it bounced around for 20 yrs I guess. Last month I was back in Ark. deer hunting and I drove over to Amity to see some old friends I noticed a Blue and Silver SB on the side of a old run down shop,mine was blue and white but I had heard rumors the white had been painted silver. So I stopped to take a look. Yeah pretty easy to see where this is going huh.I got my truck back. Not to bad of shape either but motor and tranny are gone. I can find a #s matching block but I have a 96 454 and trans which way to go??????
