Thanks guys. Initial plans are mechanical. Body will come off to get at everything easier. It has a 250 in it now, which will be replaced with a 350 out of a 1972 truck. The transfer case grenaded, so a new one will go in. All the brakes, suspension, and fuel lines will have to be gone through. New exhaust, bushings, etc, etc, etc...

Once it is running again, I'll start on the body. Obviously it needs a few patch panels, then a little body work, some fresh paint (won't be light blue but will be a 1969 color) and new window/door seals. Eventually interior to match the new paint, a roll bar, some nice wider painted steel wheels, and conservative but larger tires. Probably 33" ATs.

My goal is to be driving it with the top off this summer. We'll see how that goes.
