69 Short Step
My Dad just bought me n him a project truck. I found a great 68 GMC short step with a 6 Cyl and powerglide that was real rough couldn't get in agreements with price. So Saturday he found this 69 Short Step with no motor or trans. Now we have a block, it is a 350 2 bolt main that came outta his 75 Stingray. He now has a 383 in the Vette. Anyways, we are gonna use the block and heads from the Vette motor that is in the garage. Gonna get a rebuild kit from Summit and get this thing going. We are planning on a 400 or a 700R4 behind the 350. Looking for maybe 350 horse or so. Now on to the only 2 pics I have. She is real straight, only needs the front pass fender, both rockers and cab corners. Wood bed will go in it, as we already have a wood bed kit laying around from when he had a 72 LWB 8 or 9 years ago. Other plans for it are maybe a GMC front conversion and lower it a bit.
Also I want that "old school" sound, something like this: How do I get that sound? Is it just the cam? Or the heads too?
