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;
  1. 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;
  1. 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..
