I'm new to the forum and wanted to get some thoughts on a truck I'm looking at purchasing. I don't have the time or skills (mainly lacking the skills) to purchase a truck and do a rehab myself, but I love the old 5 window Chevy trucks. The particular truck I'm looking at is here:

http://www.streetsideclassics.com/sh...Chevrolet-3100

The truck is sitting on a 1973 Chevy ½ ton frame. I was told they took the 73frame and built it up to support the HP and Torque from the 502 crate motor. The Chevy ½ ton frame came with power steering and power brakes so there was no need for an upgrade to a Camaro clip.

Any concerns I should have with this setup? Also, any thoughts or comments are much appreciated!
