So what's this 67 worth?

The good:
1. Truck was frame offed a decade ago so all the major issues have been fixed like rockers, cab corners, rear fender wells, etc.
2. Came with a folder jammed full of receipts totaling more than $15k in parts.
3. The interior is decent, not how quality, but its livable while I work on other stuff.
4. The bed was redone with new oak, new strips, shaved tailgate and stake pockets and an embossed chevy bow tie in the front bed panel.
5. Bushings, bearings and body mounts were all replaced
6. It seems to be reliable and runs down the road well. My crazy ass drove this truck 700 miles from Virginia to Florida after buying it Friday afternoon.

The bad:
1. The carbs are badly out of tune, it has a tunnel ram manifold which is most likely going to have to go. PO gave me another single carb Holley manifold and air cleaner, but that means I need to do something with hood. I kinda like the old school look of the tunnel ram, but I want this thing to be reliable. My wife wants to be able to drive it every now and again.
2. The wiring needs gone thru, lost fuel pressure while driving it due to a bad toggle switch in the dash, I trust nothing now.
3. Needs a proper lowering kit. Looks like rear springs were heated.
4. It has a cheesy sunroof. This is probably the most disappointing aspect of the truck. I am not sure if I will try to replace it with a better looking one or consider replacing the roof skin.
5. Still has 6-lugs, needs power booster, front disc, 5-lug upgrade.

Overall I think I have a solid truck to start with that I can drive and enjoy as I build it up the way I want it.
