Boppa's old yeller truck

So, after years as a semi-involved lurker, I learned to post pics, and seeing as we're going to start building in earnest, I decided to start a build thread. The truck is my dad (Boppa)'s '70 chevy. It was restored (ahem) in the late 80's/early 90's. We bought it off of a kid in Eagleville, MO in Spring 1999. We cleaned it up and fixed the interior up and it went on Power Tour in 1999. Since then, it's sat in his driveway, and he hauls his bass boat with it. The initial resto was not done well, and it has advanced rot.
In the meantime, we have been gathering parts and improving the powertrain. It has a fresh 355, the same turbo 350, and a different rearend.
We have a 68 cab from Ron Manes that we've done all the metalwork on (all 4 cab supports and inner/outer rockers and cab corners) and is in a coat of Slick sand. Doors are all fixed up, and we have 2 new bedsides and a new tailgate. The front clip is good, just needs stripped. The interior is still good, just needs a bath. Here's some pics of the truck, these were 2.5 yrs. ago-
