Well... I found that "donor truck" I purchased this truck for the running gears and the body. And while I was there I ended up purchasing an LS1 long block for the guy for $1200 . So the plans are to get the LS1 up and running, get a tranny and install them on my current frame that I am working on and then move the body over to it. I will then have the PERFECT TRUCK!

This truck has a 350 with 350 turbo, CPP 5/7 drop with mild c-notch, side fill (that I am not too fond of... I will be going to wood bed with bed fill) MSD ignition, tilt, and a few other custom things. The exhaust hanger was broke so it banged against the drive shaft. FIXED THAT. The battery was sizzling after driving it for a few minutes and it didn’t hold a charge. FIXED THAT. one of the headers had an exhaust leak FIXED THAT. Next I have to figure out what all suspension is squeaking and fix that.... it’s really embarrassing.

Here is the thread that lead me to it and how I got such a great deal on it.
Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO

The pictures are a little redundant to the thread but I thought it was relevant to post them on this thread as well.
