85 SWB project

Here is my 85 Chevy C10 the night I brought her home. It was December of 2005 and I was 15 years old. I think we paid $900 for it. Its 2wd and had a 4.3l v6 in it.



In high school I lowered it with 3" springs and a flip kit. Also I replaced that v6 with a 305.
Here is what it looked like before i tore it apart.


And here is today.





Next on the list is cleaning and painting the frame and rebuilding the front suspension while adding some drop spindles to give me some rake. Should be ordering the front suspension kit next week. Any suggestions?
