hey guys, new to the site, my new project.

[knightowl73]

Well I got this 73 shortbed from and older guy in north Houston a few months ago, wrecked. Guess I was wrong to think I could fix it back up again. I saw it on craigslist and the pics and description made it worth my trip, got there, and oh chit! the truck got sideswiped and the door got ripped off, that wasnt in the pics.
But it did still run, with a nice newer 350 with a lil lumpy cam,intake,headers,dual exhuast,th400 and 4.11 rear, dual tanks also, so for $600 it was still worth the trip.
So we get it home, a buddy had another cab for me to replace it with, but on a truck that was stuck some 100ft back in his yard in the mud. No prob, I had time, so we pulled the front clip and cab and found the steering box barely hangin on the frame and a cab mount that got knocked way back. BUMMER!
So now i got this 84 stepside body. Swapped numbers (boy did my dad make me go through alot of bs with the boys at the local police department when he found out), swapped drivetrain from the 73 and got it tagged out and inspected. At least im legal and running, but now alot more money into this than originally planned so budget got stomped on pretty quick. Now i have to get to put the 73 front back on, and the fleetside bed, then drop it. thinkin about some chrome smoothies, but with 88-up GMC caps.

btw, tryiin to post pics, this might not happen yet till i figure how to downsize or something... says invalid file
