Looking so great. I keep revisiting this build thread because I can't get over how awesome this truck is going to be. Keep up the good work and keep us updated!

Looks nice. Do you plan to coat the whole exhaust with something?

This truck is awesome. I like how you're blending the new paint. I used this thread as research when replacing my floor last year, thanks for the detailed write up!

so nice to see that you went big block. seems like not too many of us go that route when doing a frame off like this. Keep up the awesome work. look forward to seeing the rest come together:metal:

Thanks! I figured what the heck! I see lots of LS builds and that seems to be the new norm these days. So I went old school big block! Lol
I just wanted something different that I could make look old and somewhat era correct. I tossed around the LS idea but I've built a few LS cars already and want something different to burn tires off with! :metal:

Fired up the motor today on the floor since it was bugging me and i had to know if it runs! I changed the oil and filter (since i had no idea what was in there) I had some distributor troubles at first but once that was resolved IT RAN GREAT!!!! Fired up ran nice and smooth with 60psi oil press. I kept the valve covers off to see everything work and it looked good! Did a compression test right after and all cyls are within 5 pounds of each other! Im pretty happy with that so my boy and i mocked the motor up to see how it fits with the 73+ mounts.
