Thanks, the shop was something I saved money for for the last 25 years and finally built now that I'm almost too old to enjoy it! I've always had a low tolerance for debt, but the truth is IF I had borrowed money to build it 25 years ago I would have it paid for by now and would have been using it for the last 25 years... It's a bitter pill to swallow!

As far as plans, I have a general idea what I'm trying to achieve but I don't really try to plan everything in advance. The guidelines are mostly a clean, lowered, dependable truck. It will not be a show truck, but hopefully someone will see it and smile. I will be using an early 350 and automatic transmission. I am trying to rebuild as much as I can, part of me having projects is so I can learn and do. I also need to use up some of the years of accumulated truck parts I have somehow acquired over the years! So, in summary, 503 green, low, 350/350.
