It's supposed to rain here later today so I am going to hold off cleaning the truck up. Might rain hard enough to get more mud to play in.

It aint perfect, but for $1200 Im not complaining!

Carb needs rebuilt since it sat for almost a year it runs a little rough. Might also need a valve job, but if I go that route I will probably just do a motor swap. Front end is also a little loose, may need some attention there, But all in all its a pretty solid old car!

You could mess up all of those Cheby guys and install a Ford engine in it!

Paybacks for all of those 350's dropped if Fords.
