Found my next Truck 69

I just found my next project, its in really good shape, with a 3 speed on the tree (which has to go) I should call it my next girlfriend cause im in love. I paid a pretty coin for her but I had to have her. My plans are
350/ 350 Tranny,
roll pan
new bed
wheels
fresh paint
lowering it



More of a frame on resto
Open to suggestion (links on auto swaps) this is my second truck ever was and I got the bug bad.
Im thinking of a LT1 Stroker but more research is needed to go that rout.

Re: Found my next Truck 69

That's a nice score there! You seem to know what you want already out of the truck. Good luck with your plans!

Re: Found my next Truck 69

Those power steering parts are hard to find even more so if it is a 292. Keep that in mind when doing the swaping and getting rid of left over parts. Love love love that gmc
