Hi Franklin, and Welcome........Post some pictures of your truck so we can watch your progress and use it to motivate ourselfs to do the same ( progress that is ).
I have a 84 Silverado in the works right now that I use as a " sleeper" by keeping it looking as stock on the outside as I can, and a nasty small block under the hood.
I also have a 82 S-10 with a V8, and a 59 Chevy Apache, and a 50 Chevy Sedan Delivery although I don't count it as a truck, so I like trucks.
Glad to have ya on the boards, lot's of good people here.
