Welcome Curtis59, The bolt is a great place with plenty of info for the traditionalist & modified. I enjoy reading and learning about both. The bottom line is it's your truck and you have a vision of what you want. I have had both and they're both fun to drive but my preference led me to modify to my liking, my truck, my money and my vision. That's what makes it so great. If we were all alike how boring would that be? I have visions for my next project as well a little more traditional, straight 6 dual carbs, header...... maybe even an old flathead with Offy heads early Ford I know I cussed. Thing is I like the beauty of the old iron no matter the make. It's a hobby. Back as a kid I ran the SBC in a 55, 69 camaro etc while my brother ran all big block Mopars. It's a project you and your son should enjoy doing together and as he ages he can decide his path. I remember when my Dad told my Brother and I when we were 15/16 yrs old to come up with $100 bucks apiece for a car he found for US to work on 33 Ford 3 window coupe suicide doors, I still dream about that car.
