Not a whole lot of progress...was selling the motor then was offered some funds to keep it going...motors almost done..heads will be back from the machine shop this week...220/220 TSP cam and LS2 timing chain..new motor mounts...and I'll have to buy a new transmission as the one that came out of the truck has some corrosion eating at the case...

My grandfather has one of these trucks that is dying to be restored. I hope to one day be able to do that and make it a badass hotrod.
