The Return of Black Betty: AKA: Long Term Project

[LDO]

I figured I would start this so I can keep some motivation up and also document the actual work. Starts like this, I've got a perfectly good running 66 short fleet with a 4.5 drop in the front and 5 drop in the rear. Good running 283 with a Saginaw 4 speed and an underbed tank. Sounds good right? But nooooooooo, wife gives me a 290 HP 350 for Christmas and suddenly, everything I've been wanting to do to this truck sort of snowballs into an afternoon of pulling stuff off and grinding and planning and oh, by the way, I've got no money for this? Before I knew it, I have this, and this.
