[ECU PIRATE]

I figure I would start and actual build thread for the new poject even before I picked it up. I am picking this up on Thursday for another Father/Son project with my 71' year old father. He used to cruise around in a 72' LWB truck when I was a kid and sold it to by a newer truck. He regrets it to this day. Immediate plans after parking it in his driveway for a few weeks are as follows:

(1) Pull the 350/TH350 trans from the truck and sell it
(2) Finish the body work and prime the whole truck in one color
(3) Convert to (5) lug all the way around courtesy of donor parts from my old 82' SWB 2wd truck that went to the scrapper
(4) Lower the whole truck 3/5 with a C notch in the back
(5) Rebuild a 70' 402 BBC and install with a Muncie M20 trans
(6) Enjoy some quality time with my Dad during the whole process

Here are some pictures as the truck sits today. I have a few more goodies to share once things start showing up at my house. The motor is being dropped off on Weds. Going to keep it " classy " with a set of Cragar S/S wheels. Notice the cowl hood. Looks like someone fabbed it up themselves. I am stoked to do something with this one. The tab on the truck............. $ 500.00!!!!
