Dusting off this thread... we are close to finishing our restomod of Sarge. As noted in 2012, this is the truck my father bought off the showroom floor in 1977, I have the pics and documentation to prove it.
Note this was a High Sierra version while most were Sierra Classic.
Obviously we went in a different direction than "restore." The original motor was long gone nearly 40 years ago. So why not
LS2 swapped and more. This has been going on for 8 years after pulling it out of storage where it sat for nearly 15.
