After searching for several years, the stars aligned, and with my wonderful wife's approval I finally have my dream truck.

A true survivor, 46k original miles, 350V8 Auto, PS, PB, AC.

Paint is mostly original, just the upper part and inside of the bed were repainted.

This won't be a build like most; I'm not going to cut her down to a short bed. #KeepLongbedsLong I'm not going to LS swap her. I'm not going to lower her.

I'm going to give her a complete tune up, replace a few worn parts (seat cover, woodgrain inserts in the door etc) and just drive the heck out of her.

Down the road, I'd like to relocate the gas tank under the bed, with an F-body tank and flip down license plate for the fill. Maybe a Retrosound radio...

Goal is to keep her as close to stock and original as possible.

Here are a few pics
