Started to share the story already, but figured a build thread would serve to document the evolution.
Project begins a phased approach soon,
Phase one;
- 5 lug Disc brake conversion with dropped spindles
Rear axle swap to 5 lug 3.73 posi with 4 inch dropped springs
Address body issues (rockers, trim, dents & bruises, panel alignment)
Phase two;
- Swap in bucket seats and console
Install Tach/vac
Tilt column
Install a factory cruise control
Probable engine swap (she's running a bit tired today)
Convert to 700r4 automatic
And well.. I am thinking that as we move into next winter, an extreme altitude adjustment will be in order to keep me busy..
More to come as I upload a few progress pics..
