Hi all,

After purchasing my 69 short step I found this board. What a blast these old trucks are. I had low oil pressure problems and decided I should rebuild the 350 in the truck. I also decided that a 700r4 tranny would be the way to go. Well today I finally got it all back together and took it for its first drive.

Totally different truck. Motor has more power than it did before and the trans is nice. Truck looks good but could use work but I'm happy to be cruising again. Thanks to all for the help.
