The classic trucks have sure taken a jump over the years for sure. I wanted to build one I could jump in and go anywhere and be in relative comfort. And it is fun to drive. I certainly like your 69 Camaro, I am currently working on a 71 Camaro. Same deal, I want to drive it and enjoy it.

Next weekend I'm picking up my papa's truck. 1990 GMC reg cab long bed. My parents bought it new for him in 1990 and it's stayed in the family ever since. Super stoked to get it and get it back on the road. I'm contemplating doing an LS/4l80e swap on it with some 3.73's.

I'm kicking that around to but have been having an urge to LS swap something. I haven't seen this truck in probably 5 years much less really looked at it to assess the condition. I got half a mind to rip the engine and transmission out of my blazer and put that in this truck and take the stuff from this truck and put it back in the blazer.
