Thanks. That was taken 48 hours after I got it. It was all dingy and oxodized when i got it. Some details are its pretty much bone stock. Its had a crate 350 installed in place of the 305 at some point but still a th350 tranny and stock everything else. Plans are to do a custom 4-link coil over rear and complete new coil over front by porterbuilt. I also wanna to a 5.3 or a 6.0 swap at some point. Here are a fre more pics.

Right after I got it and started working on shining it up a bit.

Then I took it apart and took it to the paint shop. Hopefully have it back next weekend for some 2" lowering springs and shocks for the front and some new ignition components.

I can see them just fine.  Looks great.  I would ditch that plastic fuel filter though.

Thanks for letting me know about the steering wheel, that's definitely the one I'm gonna get.
