Hello. New to this site. I own a 79 shortbox project truck that I've been working on for about 7 years off and on. I'm hoping to connect with guys that have more insight and experience with these trucks than I do. My truck is not a runner at the moment, but it's getting closer by the week. When...- Squareback
