It was my father-in-laws and has been sitting on the side of his barn for 22yrs. He said it got parked there when the 3rd transmission went out and he was just done repairing it. The truck was dropped off to me just about a week or so ago and I started stripping it down to see what all needs to be replaced and so forth. Appears the entire cab floorboard is gone, rear cab corners, bottom of doors, and bed is gone. I wanted to do the patina look with a built LS1 motor but now it appears the patina look is out the window since it needs a lot of body work. Not a huge deal but a bit unfortunate. I am hoping there is a lot of knowledge on here to help guide me through converting the truck to an LS1. I am not positive if we can post pictures or not. If so, does anyone know the coding to do that or is it links to pictures only? Pictures are currently on photobucket.

The 54 is known as the Advance Design (AD) and there are LOTS of parts available and the swap meet here is also a good place for buying and selling parts to fellow bolters.
Since you are modifying the truck some of the questions you have will be best answered in the Hi Po Forum by guys who have done all kinds of swaps including diesels.
Instead of using up Band Width we post links to pictures instead of the picture itself. Since you are already on Photobucket just post a link and your good to go......Note, you can also add the link to your signature line and it will show up with each post. That way folks can follow your build and make it easier to see and answer questions in most instances.
Don't be afraid of it, guys here are super about helping each other out. Most all of us understand replacing floorboards, cab corners, doors, and..... .and ..... and.....Be sure to plan on going to the Stovebolt Reunion in Kansas City Mo. the first of Sept.
