Very nice. So are you going to make any changes to it or are you just going to drive and have fun with it right away? I would go for the second. It looks like it can cruise anywhere.

I'm just going giving it some TLC now, changing a few things and then I'm just driving it. 
I bought it from a buddy of mine in our car club who'd rebuilt it frame-off about 12 years ago. He originally had a 302 and Tremac 5-spd and the 302 began to burn oil bad so about 4yrs ago he built and installed the current drive train. The truck had pretty much sat in his shop with the bad engine since '04 and before that wasn't driven much and since the new drive train went in it only has about 500mi on it. He zeroed out the odometer when he built it and it now shows just under 1,500mi since the frame-off on it.
I bought it from him at a great price($12k) as he needed the space and the funds to finish out his '69 Camaro SS 396 BB...win/win for both of us

I've already installed a Toyota power steering set up...wow what a difference!.
For Christmas my wife and my brothers all chipped in and got me a gift certificate to Coy's of Denver for new rims. It currently has AR Outlaws, 10's in back, 8's in front. I ordered a set of Chrome Smoothies, 10's and 8's and they should be in Denver on the 7th.
I am having a custom tonneau cover made at the same shop where I had the interior finished out.
I have the bed wood out, just finished removing it today. I'm going to remove all the finish and then refinish it, maybe stain the wood??? it's oak and like new but I've never been a huge fan of natural finished oak...spent nearly 35 yrs as a custom home builder and in the 70-90's it was the rage--sick of it
whoever did the finish didn't do a very good job and it is starting to lift in places. That is why I've been looking for a bed mat in another thread.
I planning on using this truck more for a 'daily driver' than a garage queen so I've been toying with having a spray on bedliner applied to the bed sides and tailgate???in case I need to haul something.
Oh yeah and need to replace the old stereo...no USB or I-pod hookup gotta have my own cruisin' tunes
