Mine did look like this... but now I have the front clip off and am finishing up on the engine (pulled a blown engine out of it), attached is a mockup of how it will look (it will have better valve covers on it with the same blue accent over the satin black).

I am cleaning up the front suspension and frame, cleaning up the firewall and painting it and the inner fenders and frame. I am converting it over to HEI and power brakes also. I will be redoing the bed in satin black and T1-11 for the floor.

not for nothing but your truck looks a whole lot better than the other 2 you posted. Prayers for you and your family getting what you need out of the truck.

Double thank you; one for the compliment on the truck; and two, for the prayers, we could use all of them we can get.

I traded my one-of-a-kind custom bike for the truck; the PO was selling it for $4500 with a blown 350 in it (after he dropped the price several times). I figure that I could have gotten $6K to $7K for my bike, with the right buyer, but could have easily sold it for $4500 to $5K. I was looking at the long term payoff on the truck, not expecting to flip it right away.

As of now, I have just spent an additional $1500-$2000 on it and still have a bunch of labor to invest into it. I fear that I am only going to get about $6K for it. $6K at this time will really help out, even if I did just invest the $1500-$2000 into it, as long as it sells quickly.
