Got the bed finished, saved some $$$ doing it myself, but it was a real pain. Glad it's done.

That looks great. What hangups did you have?

Got the 351 up and running!
 

Just rebuilt my first carb, replaced a couple worn out hoses, cleaned up the valve covers & air cleaner. Surprisingly it started right up and purrs like a kitten. I suppose the real test will be when I drive it later today.

Forgot to ask...which part number did you end up using for the carb rebuild and how about a photo of the carb?

Looks sharp. What color is the valve covers?

Edit Whoops I guess someone already asked that.

I'm new to these trucks so I have a few questions (got one this week) :)

Did you cut the springs to get the front down?
What size are your tires?
Do you still have drums all round?

Can you re post pics of you bed install, they don't show up.

Awesome looking truck by the way.
Great work.
