Looks sweet. I used to run the 390 Holley, but after 25 years, it wouldn't set up right anymore so I went to the AFB design.
When I was in the Corps, these trucks were the CUCVs. All stepsides, mostly grays, some forest green. I actually got a military drivers license to drive them. When qualifying, the Motor Pool CPL yelled at me to "quit hottrodding his truck'' when I double-clutched around a corner [used to the 4-speed SM465]. I got the chit however. MPs had a "Black Maria" with a tin box on the bed [like a camper] for rounding up all the drunken miscreants from the streets of Morehead Beach on payday nights.
Flight Line operable vehicles had vertical stripes in 2'' white 3M reflective tape on the front bumpers just 2-4 inches outboard of the inside bumper bolts. Kinda faded [from back in the day] on the Stepside. I put fresh ones on the Jimmy when I got to run it on the periphery of Williams Gateway while working on a project there in '06.

OBTW --WELCOME ABOARD!
