We have done quite a bit of work on this since we last posted to this thread. I will try to take some pictures this afternoon, this truck is my daily driver to school. But a quick update.

Done
V8 conversion, but not to the TPI pictured above, we have built up a 350 gen1 with edelbrock 1406 carb untill we work out some issues with the tpi swap.
Power Steering
3" drop(drop springs, not spindles)
Power Brakes
700R4
Automatic steering Column
license plate re-paint
replaced lower A-Arm on both sides(How did the previous owner manage to bend both of these??)
New tires on the chrome rims

Overall i am pleased with the build so far, but there is quite a long way to go
