I'm not sure yet which way I want to go with it to be honest with you. Right now I'm having fun tinkering with it making it run better. I threw an HEI in, jetted the Edelbrock better, re-gapped the plugs...much better already.
I'd like to eventually maybe put a crate 350 in it with a 700R4 or 4l80 behind it. I'll keep the 283 in the shop for originality sakes just in case.
Probably leave the body as is for a while...like I said, kinda hate to take itoff the road for too long while I'm still having fun playing with it.

Neat truck.
Put it this way, I would happily have pulled the trigger on that one.
I see your fenders are as good as mine.
Look forward to hearing more about your truck and seeing your progress.
You already know this is an awesome forum.

Yeah, definitely the typical fender rot, even though its a lifetime California truck...at least the rest is solid.

I'm not certain yet what color it is but it sure has grown on me. The hood was replaced by previous owner after a tree branch fell on the original.
