I have a project that is not finished because my heart was not into the body style. I have since found my real project and am considering selling this one before completion. If I finish it up I will more than likely keep it. I am the 3rd owner of the truck. I knew both previous owners and know for fact that it just turned 100k before I tore it down. It was original 6 cyl. 3 on tree but all that was removed on the teardown. It now sports a mildly cammed 400 small with a brand new 400 turbo & 2200 stall from ATI out of Baltimore. Both have zero mileage on them other than moving around shop. 3 speed column was changed out with manual floor column and interior has been completely redone. New carpet, dash pad, visors, door panels B&M mega shifter, seat recovered, gauges & tach. Interior was also stripped and repainted Midnight blue metallic Nason Urethane. Firewall and inside of fenders are blue Nason.Frame was painted gloss black with Nason Urethane along with inner fenders and radiator support. Has Goodmark 2" steel cowl hood and new front fenders & inner fenders ( old ones not rusted just pretty banged up). Have new trim and grill for it as well as some of the lights. New gas tank as well. The only rust that was on the truck was the floor of the back bed. the original owner used the truck to take his little boat ( in the bed) down to river for fishing and I guess over the years the river water had it's way. I totally tore out the floor and made it entirely new out of 16 gauge steel for floor bracing and .25" plate for the floor. Outside of bed was blasted to bare metal and then etch primed. Original tailgate almost mint.truck has original posi rear with 3.08 gear. Back bed & front sheetmetal basically just sitting on truck to save space for now. still needs minor metal work, final assembly, andI assume the lower ignition switch is bad on the used column I installed. I have been starting the truck with a remote switch. Tires & rims are not new or perfect they were some old ones I had laying around.
I know I will never get out all that has been put in and have a number in mind but would like to hear from the "experts" on this.
