Looks like the body is it good shape and no rust. Guess you don't have to deal with the road salt that we do. Its a killer on the vehicles.

Very kool- The old 390 is a bull 
Only salt is down on the coast - I steer clear of used vehicles from down there

Congrats Hossfly, LMC should have the chrome that you are missing. Shoot them an email and they will send you a catalog with everything they have for that model truck. I have an 83 C-10 with a 350 with a 700R4, a great truck to play with or haul a load with. The 700R4's really work better with a shift kit and a few upgrades, the 350 options are almost endless.

Congratulations, HOSSFLY! Looks like a beautiful truck.
I envy you the project!
Here’s one I did a few years back. A Silverado 1500 converted to a dually. No adapters. One ton rear end and front suspension. Put in a small block 400 with headers, four-core radiator and a 4-speed automatic built for the drag strip. Did most of it in my driveway. It was quick away from a light!

I knew a guy who did a truck like that... But he used the dually rear end out of a tow truck. It was the same length as a standard rear end, so it doesnt have the fenders that stick out, he did have to make the inner wheel wells deeper though...
