89 low budget 350SS

I've been working on an 89 Chevy C1500 for a few months now, so I figured I'd put up the build, since I joined the forum. The truck was a 4.3v6 with the 5spd and 3.42 rear. Bought the truck for $200 because the body was really banged up, and the motor was bad. It was a local scout camp truck, and they beat the s**t out of it. I was going to rebuild the motor, but about a week after purchasing it my father totaled his 95 GMC 4x4 with a 350. he put a Jasper remanufactured engine in the truck only a few years ago, and he only put about 30,000 miles on it since. So he told me I could have the engine if I wanted it. I got the engine in last weekend, and have most of the body work up front done. I'm hoping to get the electrical work done tomorrow, and mabey even see if I can get it started. Made an open element filter today out of two lids, but then got busy with other things. I have the interior work mostly done, new carpet, and found a nice set of bucket seats, but still have to wire in the radio and get the new steering wheel installed. Its late, and I don't have any pictures on the computer, but I'll make sure to upload some tomorrow.
