Thanks guys.

As far as the engine goes, it's already been rebuilt, bored .20 over. Got a slightly hotter cam in it. The T-350 has been rebuilt with an updated shift kit, and the rear has been rebuilt with 3.44 gears and limited slip. Frame and drivetrain are completely back together and prep'd. Just need to get the body work and electrical done now.

I've pulled the entire floor out of the cab and am going to start cutting the A and B pillars at the bottom this weekend to fix those. Going to try to reuse the doors, hood, tailgate, bed front and fenders. Not sure on the bedsides yet, they are pretty eat up with rust pitting. Obviously, I scrapped the entire floor, so I'll be ordering a new one. I can only find LWB around here, so just buying a donor truck is almost out of the question.

I didn't post any more pics because they kept turning upside down like that last post of mine. I can't figure out how to fix that.
