Well this should complete my LUV build up. The pic's are not much to look at, but in 2 weeks the engine area should be painted and all unneeded holes welded and ground down. I should have my new engine and trans in about 3 weeks, so now I need to look into a NOS set up.

Lets see, I have a new engine, trans, rear end, paint, interior, rims and tires, what else could go wrong? I will tell you when it happens.

Let me hear some info on a color for the bay. I was thinking gloss black, but my body shop thinks stay with the pearl white, it would look beter with the chrome.

I'd stay with the body color like the shop says. Then if it was me I'd paint the frame and suspension black for contrast. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Keep the engine bay body color contrast the frame black is good but i would probably look in to a light blue my self as it would show up with the white and chrome as a winter snow white (slit blue when real cold). But then it is your truck so get to do what makes you happy. 8) 8) 8)

The frame and suspension is black, this was a body off with a back half for the rear so the frame was painted then, then I got a newer cab and bed for the frame. So long story short it is a 74 frame with a 78 body. I guess I need to send Ben some pics to update my gallery, I just noticed I have no finished pic's in there.
