I've got a few little things I want to do to my 72 Challenger w/ 512 this spring before driving weather comes back again, but I just brought this home as a new project. It'll be a fun one. It's already got power disc brakes in all four corners, power steering, and a decent running 318 and auto from the 70s, but the floors are rotted out. Long term plan is to put a new engine in but for now, I'll rebuild the brakes and fix the floors so it's safe to drive and daily it as often as possible. Not sure if I'll put my spare 440 in it, a stroker small block, or a gen3 Hemi but that's years down the road so I'm only going to think about it for now. :D

That Barracuda project is going even further on the back burner now that this is here.

That is VERY cool! Can't wait to see more pictures!
My wife and I built a 1955 Ford truck for our daughter back in 2015 for her college graduation present. She is a Veterinarian with her own clinic working with large and small animals. We made it 4-wheel drive (used chassis and drive train from a 1971 K10) and added a vet box in the back so it could take her into pastures to help her large animal work. Love old trucks.

Very cool old truck. I love those old trucks. I would not mind restoring one someday. What year is your Back Burner Barracuda? Now there is a good name for it....
