    finally! after 6 months away from the 51 (thanks Afghanistan...) I'm making some progress on the truck. I never started a build thread and it's probably too late for that. But all in the last month I have been able to blast the entire frame and get it powdercoated, re-do the entire suspension and rebuild the 383 and TH-350!! It's been crazy late nights but hopefully it'll be drivable later this summer....now for all of the metal working...Just in case anyone noticed, it is on a different frame, it's a '71 C-10 frame, unfortunately thats what the truck came with when I got it but it's grown on me. All it took was some control arm shortening and the track will be just right, plus it'll help hauling a trailer to have the bigger frame. More pics to come!
