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.
