I need to change this color. A close friend of mine says that on his tombstone he's going to have the following etched: "One thing always leads to another". That applies to everything I do with this truck.

I'm thinking that I need to strip this baby back to it's underware and start over. I drove the big block for 5 years and didn't really feel comfortable with it. I found a 5.0 that I want to build as a roller motor and put it in front of a 5 speed. Screw automatics, I never want one of those again.

If I go back to the frame, I want to add some more support to prevent any racking, maybe a cross over brace. Pickup trucks don't support the frames like car bodies do.

My baby is in need of a change. I'm taking the big block out and putting in a small block. This is no small task as I never seem to leave well enough alone. One thing always leads to another.
