Newb w/ different platform

[DOOCE]

Hello all! Been looking for a place like this for a while.

I am currently in the planning stage of my project, a 1976 Chevy 1/2t 2wd shortbed pickup. I'm not too sure about the specifics but I am planning on a supercharged BBC, manual trans, and I want it to HANDLE.

I am originally from Oklahoma, but am spending a few years in Germany. I shipped the truck over here with me, and drive it daily. Whenever I am able to get back stateside is when the project will start. Until then I will be doing alot of research, planning and parts buying.

I will have a few questions, but mostly will be lurking, searching, and learning.
