Should I keep this '75 stock?

[blizno23]

Ha! Yeah. I go back and forth. I told myself I'd put it out there, and if it's meant to be and someone buys it, then so be it. I gave it a week. No one bought it so I am going to keep it, lower it, redo the interior, and drive it around for now. You guys have been a great resource and help. Appreciate all the input.
I'll post more once I get it insured and get goin on her.

if the making this decision is keeping you up at night, sell it to me and I'll keep it stock for you...HA

Enjoy it!

Looks to me like it's got later mirrors on it already. I'd say configure it to be how you want to drive it. It's a well cared for work truck and it would be cool to keep some of that character, but I think it will look better without the rack and big industro-bumper. A clean stock-style interior will keep the character even if you add creature comforts. I would lower it 2/3 so it looks stock but the wheel/wheel-opening proportions are better.

I agree. All I know is it has a uncommon appearance in todays world. This is not a purist site, so you will always get a majority pro modify view. What I would do is dump the wheel trim rings and incorrect door mirrors and add new Custom Deluxe 10 emblems to fenders and white decal letters to the tailgate.

Clay bar the paint. Pull the door panels to remove the door handles & mirrors. Pull bumpers & grill. Now lightly polish & then put at least 4 wet coats of Meguiars #7 glaze https://www.autogeek.net/meg7showcarg.html w/24 hours between coats. Top w/sealant or real carnauba wax. That paint will glow for years more. Now for my end I would lower it 4/5 & add deep dish Cragar SS for that 70's look.

I vote for keeping it as much stock as possible. That’s a time capsule right there!
