1980 scottsdale deluxe build

[Coreyterry]

well heres the start of my build,

the truck is a 1980 scottsdale deluxe.

light half ton with a 350 engine and 4 speed tranny setup.

also is a shortbed.

i will be starting out by replacing or should i say adding all the proper smog equipment back on to the truck.

i have started digging into the interior already as ive been waiting on my parts truck to arrive for a few days now.

heres a few pics to start with more to come in a few day when i get the parts truck.


the bodys in great shape all work is done just needs wet sanded and paint to finish out. hood will be getting replaced enventually going with two inch cowl.


heres a couple of the engine. is rebuilt 350 two bolt main. will be taking it out to do a cam and intake swap and maybe new carb setup. exhaust will also be going to, new headers wih actual smog tubes with be getting put on.



blew a hole in the smog tube place driving it home, hope i didnt to to much damage, still sounds like its running good.


heres a picture of the inside, already had started tearing into it to fix a few hack job wiring areas, p/o sure liked electrical tape, mostly fixed still have radio wiring to fix and will call it good for now.



thats it for pictures for now. will have a few more when i get a chance.

not to much planned for this thing, stereo system airconditioning and new interior will be about it for inside,

outside will be new paint, maybe 2/4 drop but not sure yet, most likely trans swap and rear disk brake system. ohh and gonna do some trim too.

will have a more detailed list after i go threw the truck completly and know for sure whats gonna be needed.

just wanna keep it mostly stock with a few addons here and there nothing special for this one. atleast not anything right now.
