My 1969 SWB restoration project

[Boise69]

I call him 'Boise' since purchasing him 8 years ago in Boise, ID. I drove him for 4 years nearly everyday but decided to park it when rust in the rockers and cab corners started to appear, it started leaking trans fluid, power stealing fluid and I almost had a rear end collision when I had to hit the brakes hard and the drums just locked up the tires, so now it's time to bring her back to reliable, safe and pretty. I recently purchased some 4 post lifts to make the job a bit easier.

Here's the to do list:

Pull the motor to reseal, clean, paint and dress up
Fabricate a new exhaust system, FM or MF, X or H pipe - undecided
Have the 400 trans gone through, works fine, just leaks
Purchase '73+ front assy and rear axle with discs on all 4
New suspension parts front and back, shocks, mounts e.t.c
New rockers, floor boards and cab corners patched
New brake system, all OE
New power steering pump
Vintage air / heat
Gas tank relocated to under bed

Box removed and painted
New wood in bed, flat lacquer, brushed alum strips, new mounts
LED tail and side markers

Interior removed and inside painted
New instrument panel
New gauges
Bench seat recushioned and apolstered
New door panels
Better sound with under seat subs
Sound proofed

Full frame resto with POR 15
Complete paint job with different green - undecided

Install new wheels and tires

Enjoy
