well she's on the road. I've spent the last couple months going through her and she's a runner finally. I pulled the engine and went through it....it was in great shape...just sitting 10 yrs had taken it's toll. So resealed and put a new cam in, checked out the lower end and bearings looked fresh so they got a dose of assembly lube and caps re-torqued. The TH350 got pump and tail shaft seals....the fluid looked clear and bright when I drained it and the receipt for the rebuilt trans in the glove box confirmed my suspicions. Suspension got 2.5" drop spindles and 3" springs in front and 5" springs / 2" block combo for the rear. Adjustable track bar . Painted the rally's and wrapped em in fresh rubber. Oak bed in ebony stain as well... still lots to do as far as interior and sorting out window issues and stuff but so is ALIVE....

Wow, Looks great. Did you build it & then store it or did your buy it & refresh?

Found her parked in front of a barn ...the po died in 09....I bought it from his widow's new husband. It had a few things done like 5 lug conversion...etc.....a good start
