heres a before and after shot of my bigbolt.
350 v-8 small block 4sp and 2sp rear
it started as my plow truck, went into the shop to fix the brake lines, ended up doing all the brakes completely, had the rims off so why not sandblast and paint?, then the bed needed some work so why not some welding and paint, then the cab needed help so why not do that too, it is definitely overkill on a 67-72 before1 before2 after1 but now I will be able to register it and drive it.
it is no show piece but should be around for another 40 years.
