Its not all from LMC. I ordered a bunch from Early Classic Enterprises, and the air conditioning is a big chunk at $1400. I still have 2 shipments from Early Classic on the way, and the A/C should be here next week. But here is the pile of parts so far. That total also includes all of the tune up parts, belts and hoses, water pump, starter, etc. I already put on the truck.

Under the boxes is the stock seat and 4-speed Saginaw that are going in the truck, as well as the 12-bolt I'm giving to Street Smart.

Those mufflers are spectacular compared to the wiring work the PO did. They will disappear as soon as I get it on the road and can drive to the exhaust shop.

Get some nice Flowmasters on there and new pipes welded on. I really love the 40's but they are a loud one. Painless wiring kit could make your wiring nightmares a little easier if really hacked up.

Its not too bad really, but the stuff that the PO did touch he did wrong. Bare wires twisted together, wire stuffed under fuses in the fuse block, garbage bag ties holding wires together. Start wire to the starter and the battery cable were routed through the headers, so both were burned. I have 95% of it fixed now.

40's would be too loud for me. I'm thinking 60's and turn the pipes out in front of the rear wheel. Mellow but decent sound.

Its going to be resto-mod-ish. I working through all of the mechanical stuff now, then I have to do some rust repair, new interior, and paint it. Truck is in too good of shape (IMHO) to mess with pulling the cab off the frame.

Me either. The PO put some leather buckets that look like they are out of a Pontiac or something from the early 90's, and they are pretty worn and ugly.

Luckily the guy I bought this from kept all sorts of parts and threw in everything but the kitchen sink to make the deal. He had 5 different trucks and was selling them and all of the parts he had.
