I had it running but it had an overheating issue. I installed a GM goodwrench stock 350. It was quick with the turboes but the stock headgaskets and bolts were allowing boost to get into the radiator. I decided ARP bolts and Dart heads. I figured if I have it apart I may as well change the rusty fenders/innerfenders/hood and radiator support. I had purchased parts from California years ago I then sandblasted and expoxy primed them. They have been waiting for install since. I then figured while its apart I may as well rebuild the suspension. All new ploy mounts all new inner/outer tie rod ends. While I'm there I'll upgrade the LCA's to 03 arms and add the bigger brakes. Also since it's apart all SS brake lines. I thought orange urethane would be great for the engine.
Of course when I took the suspension apart the torque rods were rusted shut. They got cut out with my plasma cutter a newer set was gotten from the bone yard. Everypiece was bead blasted down and expoxy primer used afterwards.

The work continues but it's been slow. I'm trying to detail everything as muc as possib;e. I actually tumbled all the bolts and then had them re black oxide coated.

A few years back I had removed the bed and I had the bottom of the bed blasted as well as the frame. I then painted both. This time I couldn't blast it so I sanded it the best I could and then painted with por-15
