Well, dispite have very little body rust, it is still 32 years old so it needs a complete body-off restoration. Probably 95% of the original sheet metal is salvagable. I was thinking about doing a suspension drop, maybe 2.5 X 3 inches to help with the stance. I'm toying around with the idea of trying to find a salvagable Vortec 8100 out of a newer wrecked truck along with the computer and wiring harness for it, but its just an idea. Im not sure whether to go with a TH400 or a 700r4 for the transmission. Replace all the Chrome stripping and have the front and rear bumpers re-chromed. Im gonna ditch all the brushed aluminum. Add Euro-style taillights and Tri-bar headlights. And i think i'll stick with Black.

well, thats the short list anyway.
