I think a plywood bed in back would help.  I can help you there.

Thanks!
Here's a little update:
Getting close to having everything I need in order to drop in the engine and transmission.
Bought a new aluminum radiator and B&M transmission cooler (will install with new engine so no old fluid)
Bought an Eaton Truetrac posi, Richmond 3.73 gears and all bearings. (Scheduled for install 6/5)
Installed a 1 3/8" front sway bar. Man what a difference!
Finished installing full Flowmaster exhaust system with Super 44s yesterday.
450HP/ 460TQ 383 Stroker and 700R4 transmission built to match should be here in 5-6 weeks.
Just need a few odds an ends, like tranny temp gauge and tach.

Well, all I have to say is 5-6 weeks my butt!

Motor is finally done, and pulled 453 HP and 473 Lb/Ft on the dyno this morning. Will ship, along with tranny, from Texas this week.

Just do not ever let her see the receipt for "the" new set of tires,  :peep:

Transmission showed up yesterday. Engine today or Monday. Both fuel tanks are near empty so I'll change her diet to ethanol free 92 this weekend.

Nice  :tup:
Any plans to ditch the rear bumper and do a roll pan, hard tonneau cover and put the spare in the bed?
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
