The truck was all original and pretty solid when I bought it. I thought I'd start a frame off restoration right away, but had too much fun driving it as it was. Before I knew it, it had been 2 years.
I've upgraded as things needed attention (ie. new battery turned into 12v conversion) and now the 261 resulting from a bent rod in the babbit pounder.
The goal is to end up with a good daily driver. I'd like to keep her as original as I can while adding inconspicuous updates. I'll probably change the rear end to get over 55 mph, which will mean changing the front to IFS with discs so I can get back to 0 mph. I've got an ez wire harness ready to put in and am researching A/C options and radio options that look period correct.
