Thank you. I love these old trucks as I had a 62 Step-side in high school with the inline 6 -223 that I worked to restore. Wish I would have kept it. . This one is pretty much done even though I would have preferred to do much of the work myself. There are still a few things remaining I can work on. My problem is I have too many hobbies and not enough time. Ha
This has a 390 high performance with a great sounding exhaust and the big kicker due to where we live, AC!!!!
here are a few more pics.

Your truck looks just fine and things work. Don't worry too much about being perfectly stock as that costs a lot of money.
