The truck is 1980, slant six 4spdOD, planning to keep original mechanically and do a custom paint and interior with a Honey Bee theme.
Still under construction. Busy with work and not as much progress as I had hoped. I did find a tailgate for it on CL off a 90 3/4ton. It doesn't seem to fit well. I have the donor motor on the engine stand and cleaned for painting.
Been thinking about the paint scheme. How's this?

Add a 12" white stripe with the Honey Bee at the back of the bed centered between the wheel and bumper.
SWEET! That is what I failed miserably to do.I needed an excuse to sit down at the computer after mowing the lawn....and the Honeybee won!

ah! That sucks! I'll keep a lookout for youLittle update; got the engine swap done and filled the oil last Sunday. Went out today to put the belts and hoses on and fire it up and noticed a big puddle of new oil under it. There are three pinholes in the bottom of the oil pan. Anybody have a truck slant six oil pan laying around? Also need a right rear taillight lens, my daughter and I backed it into the tree.
