Yeah got some pics when the truck was new I'll have to dig them out, I think my mom has them, they are on slides, thats how old they are. I'll put them on there as soon as I can, plus some new ones. Where do I start with this mess? I think I'm going to do the engine and drivetrain first, then frame, then body and interior. I am going to lift it, what is the best lift with the best ride qualities? I know superlift and tuff country have some. my leaf springs right now actually have a neg. arch in them.

Getting there, Like I said I'm starting with the engine. I went with the 440 and it is turning out to be a monster. I put a picture of the engine up, it is labled "just sharing". As of today I need the intake and carb, then the little stuff like fuel pump and water pump. I'll post some new pics soon, once the engine is done I'm moving to the trans then driveline. I should start doing body work by jan or feb hopefully.
