Thanks guys, it’ll be a fun project, nothing to crazy. Rfurest; I’m halfway between Syracuse and Utica, live in Oneida. Wd; no major drop, probably 2” dropped spindles in front, keeping the solid axle or may go for a dropped axle. Reverse eyes in rear springs, take out a leaf or two. Nothing major or expensive. Truck sits a little too high for my taste. Drum brakes have supposedly been rebuilt, I”ll pull a wheel and drum to see. If They’re in good shape, if so, I”ll leave it alone. GH85; parts are reasonable and I can use my SAE wrenches again. Pretty simple truck, I plan on keeping the column shift as is. Shaun; thanks, looking forward to putting the truck on the road soon. Guys, I”ll be 78 in August, in pretty good health and this is not gonna be a major restoration like my 77Targa was. That was a 10 year project! Don’t know how much time I have left, so truck gets up and running quickly warts and all. I’ll keep you posted on the build. 1st project, pulled the bench seat, clean out all the mouse nests, poop, groose.
Paint the cab deck, add soundproofing and insulation, new battery and fabricated battery tray, hot start it for now until I get an ignition key made to see what’s up with the motor. Odometer shows 35k miles but I don’t know if that’s true. P.O says it is afahk.
