we got things kinda ready to roll, i'm gonna be taking the truck down to bare metal over the next month or so, probably put in the new bed floor, shave the doors, and do the drivers side floor pan, then take it down to him for the passenger bed side patch, shave a few things i'm not comfortable doin, and engine bay, then i'll take it back, get some more stuff done then back down to him for paint and a few other random things, gonna take a while but it'll be worth it, i definitely will have a bunch of questions for you about the engine and stuff, i spent a bunch of time staring at yours for some ideas

wow that really sounds like a great plan ... damn I wish I had a place to even get things going.. which has been my problem all along.

Please let me know whatever I can do to help ya out.

Epic day folks.
Yes it is true. I drove the 78.
Rebuilt steering rack needs to be checked.... carbs tuned....chrome skid plate needs to be removed so i can run the wheels for this season.

And if you dont already know... its been over 4.5 years since this build started. Before today I have only driven this car twice. One test drive and a one way drive from Bellevue WA to Seattle WA.
