:D I'm taking Friday off to purchase the rest of what I need to get my new 80 luv and new 350 (40 over) motor fired up. We got the new motor and tranny in a couple of weeks ago and I'm picking up the radiator, electric fan, battery relocation and instrument cluster Friday and hopefully we'll have it fired up by saturday. I've been taking pictures as we go and I'll post 'em after this weekend. :D Here's a picture of my truck and the motor that I bought from Leadfoot

That truck looks awfully familiar... Probably because there's parts of one of my old one's all over it...

I sold 2 of my trucks to leadfoot.

Just to show it's a small world, when Leadfoot told me about buying two trucks from Drummerforhire I cracked up laughing because we had sent a post to Drummerforhire saying we were interested in the trucks and was told someone was already in line to get them but if they didn't, we were next in line - Now, I have the end result of those two trucks afterall. We ended up going to Indiana to get the cab for the 4x4 we were putting back together after it got totaled in a wreck so I guess it all worked out in the end.

I'm glad those trucks were put to good use. Congrats!
