My 86

I've had some time to drive my truck the last couple weeks since I got it home.
The 350 is staying, love it but it needs a bump in power.
The th350 is staying.
The stance of the truck is staying, (the wife can barely get up in it now, lol)
Not sure on the axle situation right now , has a fifth wheel ball , but 10 bold front 🤔🤔
Rides really nice ,steering is no where as bad as I thought.
The back bumper is going ( won't fit a plate) as is ugly.
The white exterior is staying it's grown on me( future repaint and body work the current was half butted, thinking about something like the Cadillac white pearl, or similar), and
Need to get a correct cab anyway.
Blue dash and door panels needs to be redone or replaced, faded and worn out.
Frame repaint( in the far future when the cab gets exchanged)
Back window swap to sliding window
Put ac in
350 bumped in in power( further future)
Np203 exchanged for something better
Th350 rebuilt(possibly)
Get all the gauges working
Get the expensive radio from lmc and all the sound system stuff I need.
I've replaced the lights already with housings with the removable bulbs and heavy duty headlight harness, it's way brighter
My soon as possible need right now is taking the th350 out and replacing the seal, we replaced the adaptor gaskets for the np203 and it did nothing for the hemorage.
Huge problem right now is cleaning up the vacuum line mess , how the trucks idling ,
How it goes into gear little rough. So I'm looking for someone to help me with the line mess.
