I had a local guy that has a part time upholstery shop do it.

I'm not 100% sure which motor it is. I'm pretty sure it's either a 283 or 327 but I need to find out for sure.

Here are a couple teaser pics the shop sent me. They are supposed to start working on the suspension and brake install tomorrow.

Well after a 15+ year nap grandpas truck is back on the road and I was able to drive it a little before our spring break trip. It road a little rough with the old rubber. Before we left town for a few days I pulled it into the shop and pulled the tires/wheels off and had the wheels blasted and powdercoated and ordered the tires and new baby moons. This week I got them put back on and today the kids and I washed her up and took it her for a little Easter drive. Still plenty left to do to it but it's great to finally be able to drive it.
Here are some current pics.
