Making chicken salad out of chicken shizzz

Not alot of updates on Chicken Salad since last post.  Really just waiting on the motor to be delivered -  hopefully next week!
In the mean time, came across an '85 K30 couldn't pass up, so have been working on it a whole lot ... meet "Big Nassy" before & after.

Thanks!   K30 drivetrain is what hooked us on it - 454 and SM465 w 205; in its earlier life was a fire brush truck conversion and has Dana 70 (yes 70, not 60) frontend - extremely heavy duty stuff throughout. And on top of that it has factory A/C that still blows cold
