Re: Project: Truant 69 SS

Been doing some more thinking and planning today and here is the basic plan for the truck.

Primer it black and go with some vintage style door artwork to advertise my auto parts store. For the interior I'm gonna go with a red/black mix. Gonna keep it simple nothing fancy.

Lower it as low as possible without any major mods or frame cutting, I dont want it too low because my driveway sucks.

I'm gonna get a turbo 350 rebuilt and stick in it with a Lokar shifter.

I'm still stuck on the motor. I can get a stock reman for about 1100 bucks. I have access to a set of double hump heads I could probably get for free from my dad, Im sure I can round up a 350 or 327 block, Im just not sure if i could get it built for about the same amount of money or not.
