Well to start things out i bought this truck off a buddy of mine.  He let it sit up at his house for over a year, busted windshield, flats all around, debre, etc. . I really dont have any before pics but ive been working on this this truck a couple months and finally got it running, so here it is today. The only thing i really dont like about it is the long wheel base, im looking for a short wheel base body i can just put the motor and tranny in. Its a 1983 chevy.

20' Boss wheels

Homemade bedcover

Engine swap from 305 to small block 350

rebuilt transmission

Theres more to come, im gonna try and post more pics soon. It needs a lot more work but hey maybe one day ill get there.

If you have any suggestions please let me know, anything will help.
