i collected a few old vehicles over the years and due to family responsibilities and work they have been in storage and i have been absent from the hobby for a while.
i found an old school mechanic with an appreciation for these old trucks who is willing to do some work for me so its now or never!
the project
1965 chevy short step unmolested rust free truck from arizona
4 speed
283 motor in good condition (2bb carb)
my objective is to make this a basic reliable comfortable daily driver type vehicle.
all the basics have been done, tuneup etc. and new under bed gas tank from early classic enterprises.
i need to decide on the following
should i and is it worth it to....??
1)upgrade to power stearing
2)upgrade to power brakes
additionally i need to find an air cleaner assembly as well as other parts, is LMC a good resource for parts or are there other vendors i should look into.
i also have a specific exhaust question but will ask this in a separate post for clarity
thanks for your advice and help
