Hey guys so I bought a 2nd 72' this one is a highlander. It has some rust in the outer rocker, floor looks solid, torsion boxes, bottoms of the doors. I'm going to strip it, paint the same blue or maybe switch to hawanian, haven't decided yet. The beard seats are going and factory will replace them, I'll do them in 671 grey plaid, the Door panels are original but painted black, so I will try and strip them and re dye them parchment or go for some repo's. Interior will stay mostly stock to the SPID, I'll change up the stereo and build a full cage.
The engine is a 383 with a 700r4 and a 205, brand new vintage air. Plan as of right now I'm going to pull the 383 and 700, replace it with a 418ci Ls3 I have at the shop and a 4l80e. During that time I'll swap a set of 1-tons and 4-Link it front and rear with coilovers.
Should be fun, for now I'm going to start gathering my interior, axles etc and enjoy the truck while our weather here is beautiful. Enjoy some pictures, I spent the day polishing it. Couple pictures as I was polishing and the finished product
