See that is the problem. I do not want what everyone else has. I want my truck to stand out from the rest. The one thing I can not stand is a vehicle of any kind that looks the same as a lot of other vehicles. I do not want my pick up to look the rest around town. Wait there are no other old classic trucks around here. I really am leaning towards rodding the truck. I really want to keep the stock look though. I am thinking a sleeper truck would be really cool. Imagine a sleeper 64 blowing the doors of of the little imports around here.
The truck really is not in that bad a shape. The worst part is the bed sides. The rest of the truck has the usual surface rust but other than that it is realativly rust free. I brought it to Michigan when we moved out here, it came from California. The truck has never been driven during a Michigan winter and it never will be either.Right now the truck is set up for a 350cid and a th350 trans. I think I will stick with that combination unless a decent 454 presents itself.
I am truly amazed at the amount of replacement and after market stuff that is available for these truck. Other that time and MONEY this truck should be easy to get fixed up. Ahhh, the famous last words.
Best Regards
