But this new truck I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Its the same way kinda I'm going with my 65. I'm a broke college kid an just as your build says hopefully next payday! My 89 is my baby an has had all the pampering (an dough) thrown at it. Need to make a new build thread on it soon and change the user picture I have cause it doesn't loom like that anymore.
I have to ask did you do anything at all to the engine you put into the truck for the time being? How's it sound?

The blue/white truck was an 89. Powertrain was 350/5 speed. I converted the headlights to the later type with a pair of freebies a buddy gave me.
The engine in the stepside doesn't really sound very inspiring. It's a 350 4-bolt out of a 78 dually. Feels and sounds like it's got a little cam in it. I've got an Edelbrock Performer (25 dollar swap meet special that had a broke off bolt), Holley 600 vac secondary, exhaust manifolds and 2 inch dual exhaust with long glasspacks. It's very mild. Just pressure washed and resealed it before installing.
