I should add the goals for this truck. The goal is to get this truck back on the road as simply as possible. I would like to take my Mother on a ride in it again.

I will keep this truck as close to how it was as when Dad drove it. I will get it mechanically sound and leave as much of the exterior as possible, keeping the original paint and eventually patching rust where required.

The only thing that has been changed on the truck is the 350 that was swapped in and maintenance parts. I happened to find a running 1971 307 engine, so the engine will match how the truck was built at the factory.
