Me to i just realized that yesterday going threw my phone i had pics of a 73-76 passenger door so this weekend im going to bring it out and cut the door so i can open and close the passenger door with a lil more ease and it not look like crap also still trying to get it to run right put new plugs in it and a newer carb i got from a buddy and new points. So ive decided to ditch the points and put in a newer style distributer and it is getting gas. I will update more this weekend

Those look like they match your interior. Do you have the K5 seat bases?

The PO of my 79 welded some junkyard seats to the factory bases. I used an air chisel and grinder to separate them. They got a little teaked in the process but I can get them back in shape. If yours aren't cut too bad, I'd at least try.

Well if anyone is watching this i finally found out that the top end needs rebuild most all the rockers were loose after we only had two cylinders that had any compression and few of the valves are bent and most all the lifters are mushroomed so i need help with what is the best stuff i should look for putting it back together (stock ish)
