It was too hokie to read. Rare to find '70 long bed, drawing of K/10 but article about C/10. the two drift guys are building it but as far as I read they were dropping a crate engine in and dropping it off to a body shop. Why not pick a couple truck guys? Body shop was surprised how straight it was but there were creases to work out. The best Duralast parts... ahhh, I can't read on

EDIT: Thanks for sharing, though. I did just scroll down and sign up. I'm not saying it won't be a nice truck, and I wouldn't mind winning it. Many things bother me about the internet world we live in, though. Other than this type of 100% product promotional BS disguised as a contest, it sure is creepy that to fill out the info, all I had to do is type in the first letter of my first name and all my info is very "conveniently" filled out for me. Everything but the first six digits of my phone#. Now they have my whole phone#, which was required. Why? They have my e-mail. It's all about gathering personal info to sell and share, which is a big case brewing right now against Facebook and I believe three other mega internet entities. then, at the bottom are two boxes to check. You check the first one and it makes the decision for you to check the second one as well. The one that says you want to receive other promotional BS. Sure, all you do is uncheck it. But how sneaky, actually underhanded. Good thing I noticed. The reason they do that is they are banking on a large percent of people not noticing. This modern mentality of "if it's not written into law it is ok" is the reason so many piddly and specific laws and regulations are being bestowed upon us. What even happened with just "do the right thing"? You know, common decency?
