Hi everyone I just joined the forum, here is my truck. Been building it for about 3 years, saved it about 6 years ago. Was on its way to scrap with nothing in it. The body was just too straight for it to happen. The patina remains the same only. After messing around with carbureted small blocks for a couple years I decided to go Ls. It's fun.
