Looks awesome!

Same here. My truck has been set up over the years with A/C, OD, etc and it all works with a SBC. It would almost be stupid for me to move to an LS with all the time and $ I have into it. I also have a brand new GM 350 crate in the garage dressed up and waiting to go in. Someday, right?

You know you want to add the 1968 CST trim now...

This is a recent pic of an event with my truck club. No joke, 7 out of 10 trucks in the pic are LS swapped. My 67, the orangish 68 and the white squarebody are the only ones that aren't.
