New to the Board - 1940 Ford P/U

I have lurked on here before but decided to join when another member (Arizona kid) told me it wasn't a pay board. I have a 1940 Ford p/u I inheireted from my dad who passed away in September. He and I had been working on it up until he died but his health didn't allow for much. I have since taken it on and was doing a updated board on another site every time I did something to it which lately has been every week. I was getting very little response on the other board so I am thinking of moving it here.

Here is a little about my truck. It is a 1940 sitting on a 74 Nova drivetrain. It has a Chevy 350/TH350. It started out with 4 wheeled drums but I have been doing a front disc brake conversion. It had an aftermarket intake with an Edelbrock 1406 on it. It is a tight squeeze so it's running stock exhaust mainfolds.
