Hello

[billybaloo]

Hello from Florida. Just wanted to introduce myself and show my recent purchase, a 1965 short bed. I have been reading up on all post's that have been posted for about six months now. You guys have given me the inspiration and courage to tackle this project. The truck came less engine and transmission - and the all to common rust issues around rockers, cab corners and outer floors. My goal is to repair the rust and install an Oldsmobile 455 with a turbo 400 that was taken out of my Cutlass. That engine pushed the Cutlass to a 13:28 at 98mph in the quarter and should be a fun power plant for the C-10. Please keep the info coming as I have bitten off a big chunk of "What the hell was I thinking?" as far as over estimating my experience, knowledge and abilities. This will be my second engine install, my first time with bodywork and welding. Thanks for the time Bill.
