69 stepside,project keep the wife happy

[bigblock68]

Well i thought i should start a build thread on my 69,i didnt do one one on my blazer and my computer crashed with no pic back up....lost all my stuff.this time im prepared to share the good,bad and ugly of another build!
I picked this truck up for $1200.from a friend whos son got burned out on it,he sold the bed the cowl hood and any pieces he could to recover some of his investment.i bought a stepside bed for $200.00....i built a 68 shortwide a couple of years ago,finished my blazer last summer so i'm excited to build this since step sides seem to be few and far between around here anymore.
I promised my wife i wouldnt get carried away on this and spend what i did on the blazer...my plan was satin black,steel wheels and a little cleaning,you know keep it cheap and make a rat rod shop truck out of it.....i changed my mind,still trying to get this done for under 4k though,i think she will be happy!
This had a good 350,th 350 and air ride all around,6 lug disc brakes and dropped spindles.....i cant lose on this deal.
