1985 SWB for the road

It's a bit of a mystery with a TBI system that's impossible to validate as original... though the original owner said something about "test vehicle" when he sold it 9 years ago. The last owner installed a carb during a troubleshooting venture that ended up being a cam problem. Now... I'm just cleaning it up and trying to get it water tight. A branch fell on the roof over the last 9 years giving it it's only dent and causing some rust in the cab corner below it.

I'm going with a Holley EFI carb solution with the TBI harness being removed. I'm going with a factory red for the color and not doing much else to it other than getting it looking nice.

I did replace the windshield, wipers and rear bumper. I also got new tires (yes, that's rubber I scrubbed off the undercarriage left by the PO) and installed shoulder harness seatbelts.\
