Appreciate the input guys. The two things I enjoy most about the truck are the compliments I get everytime I drive it and the ride. The coil springs make the truck 'float' over bumps. It has a 327 that I spent close to $4,000 modifying in 1997 but that never has really satisfied me; hence the decision to drop a LT1 and 6 speed in it. Hopefully others will respond that have done similiar upgrades. I thought about having the entire underbody sprayed with black durabedliner spray when I take it off the frame. Good idea or bad??? Truck has virtually no rust and I thought that might seal it better than undercoating.....
