update guys today we put a new fuel pump on it and i already put a new battery on it. Yesterday we had it running but it was misfiring bad we drain the old gas out of it and then filled it up and it fired right up. It sounds like a monster it has longtubes headers on it and full 3 inch dual exhaust on it. It still had a rough idle but we got it going. Now today I just tapped the gas 2 times and it fired right up and had a smooth idle to it. I ran it for about 30 mins before shutting it down. So I am very excited I havent had to put hardly any money on it and it runs like a champ. I am going to work on the braking system first before I start running it on the streets then she should be ready to go.

Another update on my 72, I bought a 74 donor truck that had a 390 in it. For the body I took off all the trim paneling on the sides and filled the holes sanded and primed ready for new paint job going back black. This saturday me and my mechanic are going to drop the 390 and auto trans in my truck out of the donor truck.
