2011 Build / Project: Olblue
New to FTE...I have enjoyed the forum so decided to become a member. This is my truck. I have owned the truck since 1997. It has been in my family since 1979 when my grandfather bought it new. It was on our farm until I acquired it. The body is straight and is stock. I am planning on dropping a 460 in it. Here are a couple of pics of Olblue...
This is a side view of Olblue...

It is. Thanks to my dad for letting me use his shop and tools. I live in a subdivision and I don't think the neighbors would quite understand... The forklift has been a life saver.

Nice Texas style bumpers, as far as the 460 swap you getting a kit from L&L or doing it a piece at a time?
Reason being is you will want to get the rear oil pan swap kit (pan, pick up tube, tube stud kit) and make sure you get truck exhaust manifolds cause car ones will not fit the R/h side.
Ck out my garage, my "ol blue" looks a lot like yours inside and out.
