Rusty Buildup

Well, looks like i finally got the money to build up my first truck, plus my ranger wasn't quite cutting it. Paid $700 for the entire thing hope you like it.

Had it a few days, thought it was running fine, then the damn thing died behind the barn and wouldn't run but on 6 cylinders after that. Decided to tear it down and buy some used tires since im a broke college student who cant afford a damn thing.

Had to try and make it as street legal as possible as the shop im building it in is in the middle of town, not good friends with the neighbors so we dont give a damn what the yard looks like.

so, the tear down began, just me, some craftsman tools, couple of moms towels i had stolen, few buckets and a few buddies on call. originally the plan was to rebuild the 350. too bad it was cracked in 2 places, had two spun rod bearings and needed to be bored 40 over, decided to buy a 400 small block instead. no pics of it yet, in fact i havent moved it to the shop yet, maybe i should...
