figured i would start a build here for my truck. Its a 51 ford F1 on a first gen s10 frame. It has full air ride suspension and had a 355 small block backed by a muncie m21. I want to make the truck a better cruiser so i got a 03 lm7 and a 4l80e. Its getting a texas speed 228r cam and a ls6 intake.
how i got the truck

well its been a while but got a few updates. i got the motor back from the guy who did the cam swap and all that goes with that. while it was there i started working on my new front fenders. also got the shifter mounted and ran all the new fuel lines.
motor and trans back in with intake all together so i could do the fuel lines
