Re: just picked up an '83 pickup

Well, I plan on dropping a mildly built 350 in it. Tempted to put the 350 for my '59 in it. :-) But, Thats first order of business. The paint is a little faded too. I might strip it down and Paint it black. New carpet and having the seat reupholstered are on my short term list of things to do as well. I like the stance and ride height.
I really like the grill but it blocks a lot of light. Maybe keep it and put some of those ultra white bulbs in there.

Re: just picked up an '83 pickup

I can take pics. Its the edelbrock headers for this year truck. They have the smog tree but they are capped. Great headers but i dont want the hassle with the smog ref.
