Have no fear, I will restore it original. The only reason I thought of blower/customized is that I swore the next project I had would be ultra custom and blown, but all bets are off with this truck. Too rare and been it the family too long. Never DREAMED my pops would part with it. My other two projects were both very stock; my '72 C10 sb/ss and my '62 Impala.
Thanks for the option plate pic. I'll compare it to mine and try to see all the options.
I also plan to take detailed pic along the way and chronicle the resto. It'll be just like "American Hot Rod" except way more redneck and with a much lower budget and slower pace
