GREAT thread, Andy! I'll try and dig up some pictures of my first car, which was a truck...I think we gave $100 for it...'63, 2wd, step-side...thing had been a farm truck since birth, had a blue cab and a green box/bed, and looked like someone had beat it with a mallet all over...I threw about 5 pounds of Bondo and a couple gallons of red paint at it, and thought I was in tall cotton! The tall rear gears and truck 4-speed took it's toll on the 283, so I put in a 305...
