Default New Project!

Just picked up my 68 yesterday and can't wait to get started on it! Cab and bed will be coming off so I can start on the frame/brakes/suspension. Bed will be replaced with straight bed. Still not sure on paint color yet but was leaning towards cyber gray with black interior. Engine and trans plans are, built 370 or 408 with T76 turbo hooked to a built 4L80E. I still have a lot of reading and research to do to make sure everything comes together smoothly. If anyone has some links to sites that detail LS swaps in this model truck would be appreciated!
