After DAD, it spent most of its life as a farm truck. Little rust, but fixable. Tailgate trash.
350 - tired 200K + miles, 4 speed with granny, 410 rears. Wood floor in bed, and 5 light cab. Did have 2 (after market) tanks under bed, now gone.
Just pulled the engine, and will be starting the body work in a couple weeks. Will take the engine back to stock + a little. Will make it a two tone truck. I want to make this truck my everyday driver.. Add factory AC. (necessary for southerm Miss). Was thinking about putting a Gear Venders Overdrive on it for highway use. Plan on using the same rims with a lower profile tire.
Will have other questions in the future, I am sure. Will post progress. Want to have it done for Cruisin The Coast.
Thanks Dan
