If I'm not mistaken, Sam Foose once said that "95 percent of people have bad taste." I think this thread makes it obvious that he hasn't come on the HAMB.
I restored this truck in '78, but here is the before and after engine swap. Hope to be driving it this spring.
My old truck was pretty much a hunk-a-junk in the before picture, and it's still a hunk-a-junk in the after picture. But I still like the old beater for some reason. I'm in denial, like a mother that thinks her ugly child is growing into the most beautiful kid on the block.
