Those jump benches are great to have around aren't they.....definitely like the textured across the bottoms...

Possibly later this summer. The kid is really transitioning into a mature vision for this truck. I'm very much respecting his new desire to simply freshen up the 351 with a standard bore re ring (if it clean enough and no groove) improve the cam, dual plane aluminum intake, smaller 4 barrel with elect choke, possibly a bit of head porting and of course fresh bearings, gaskets, paint detail the engine bay. I'm thinking this truck will be his baby. Something clever here.

That tall boy is one lucky sumbish (with all due respect) and I can't wait to see what the preacher gets for a project. You should have your hooks well into the business by then so we're looking for the same if even better. Not to set the bar even higher. :} Do not feed the bear!
