shortened, engine swapped, lowered...
I bought this lwb truck the day before thanksgiving with a 4.3 that had a bad head gasket. Mechanic/friend of mine gave me a great deal on a 350 268 comp cam vortec head motor, shortened the frame, lowered and installed some new seat upholstery... I stole some wheels from another project for now and it'll be off to paint in the next month or so. thought I'd share some pictures

I bought the truck, motor, spindles with flip money from some parts and trucks. I'm going to try and finish this truck for under $3k (-wheels/tires)

Re: shortened, engine swapped, lowered...
Man, you work fast! I'd still be trying to determine how to shorten the bed and frame.
