83 LWB fresh project

I'v had this truck for about 2 years now and finally got around to start a project with it. I want to drop the truck 3/4 so i dont have to notch the frame. Would like to hear any advice and suggestions from the crew over here. Truck has everything original including the 305 and 700r4 tranny. Motor work is going to be mild. Just a cam, intake, double roller timming gears and of course dumping the emissions.

I like that! got lots of potential for sure. It looks to be in very good shape externally with minimal rust!

Only real bad spots are right behind the rear wheels on both sides. Other that just a little surface in spots. Interior is immaculate.

Re: 83 LWB fresh project

the box i will be using has a bad spot on the drivers side wheel opening but the rest of my body panels are good. Do they make a patch panel for that spot?
