Re: After years in garage transformation begins
We are sorta in the same boat.

My 72 swb stepside has been in my garage for 10 years, 8 of which I just stepped around it. Mine also has a lot of rust and rear springs.

I have the front end off and I'm currently working on the heater. Good luck!

Thanks. Oh I bet NY is tough.....I drove up through there last April on a VT ski trip. Beautiful country! Stopped for gas in Maryland, NY and the pump was analog. Had a sign "pump first and then pay."

Re: After years in garage transformation begins
Well its basically original 250 which I rebuilt in boces in 1990 3 on tree.When it was parked it was rolling on 31 in tires,kind of made it look like 4 wheel drive,so I think a drop is in order.I do have a99 Chevy engine but i really like old school
