Save up for a truck cover or one of those car tents from harbor freight. Keep her dry and the crap out of her bed.
I am traveling to Florida and then to Michigan this summer. It would be nice to drop by and see the old gal in person.

Wow been over a year since I've made a post, alot has happened since then, took the truck for a short drive today, she ran great, not much to say for the trans, gotta find a good bop 350 or 400 somewhere, but man that old 350 runs great, takes a bit to get warmed up but dont they all, unless you habe that fancy fuel injection hahaha

Too bad you live on the other side of the planet....
I have BOP trans all over the place...
IF you have some back woods wrecking yards, find a 2004R and rebuild it...
They have a lower 1st and OD and will live behind a mild Poncho 350...
Great freeway trans..
Otherwise.. TH400 is the way to go..

I've decided I'm going to take advantage of my employee discount now that I work at Autozone and the use of the internet and rebuild the trans, get a new torque converter, front and rear seal, filter and pan gasket and all for cheaper than I can buy an unknown BOP
