New member and my 1977 stepside

[bryantreams]

Hey everyone, just picked this truck up about a week ago from craigslist. I've always loved this body style but this is my first one. I had a 72 GMC several years ago however.

This truck is mildly modified with a 383, 700r trans, drop spindles and shackles, roll pan, and a few smaller things. The engine isn't really how I would have built it (stock heads with a big cam) but it's fine for now. I may throw in another engine while I freshen this one up and change to some twisted wedge heads. I plan on swapping for a manual transmission just haven't narrowed it down to the one I want. I'm leaning towards a Muncie m20 but any suggestions are very welcome. Other plans include swapping back to a stock grille, stock bumpers, 15x8 and 15x10 rally wheels, drop coil springs, axle flip and notch, paint job, stock tach dash, etc. Going to be a very long time before I'm done since I'm on a tight budget but it should be a fun project that I can drive.

To the people who make this site happen, thanks for having me on this awesome forum.
