Nice! Looking really clean. Is that a dana rear? Did you do anything to the motor? I had to rebuild mine due to a oil smoke and gaskets being petrified after 45 years.... I had to go .030 over. the crank was fine and I just put in a mild cam, aluminum manifold and new 1.94 882 heads with hardened seats... again, I am not looking for a full resto since its just a work truck. My cab is in bad shape due to a CB antenna on the roof leaking over the years. the inner roof is all rotted and the rockers and cab corners are gone. I'm going to practice doing the body work on this truck and just have something to tinker on as the time goes on.
