So far I've completely replaced the brakes. New stainless lines, MC, Booster, Pads, Rotors, Drums, Shoes and wheel cylinders. Next part is the front end. I plan to lower the front by 3 to 4 inches and replace all of the bushings and steering parts. I want to keep the straight axle so I will start by taking some springs out and then get the mono's later.
As for the body on this truck it has the typical rusty floor pans and a little in the bed. The torque box is in great shape... not that it matters since I plan to install rear cab mounts for support. One front cab mount needs attention and the passenger side lower door pillar.
The engine is going to be the same as the last truck (nasty little 302 with a T5 and posi 3.55 gear). For now I've got the 6 cyl. running rather well and am driving it a bit. It will make it easier to transport when I need to go to the glass shop and sand blaster etc. I've put the steel smoothies with trim rings and 7" baby moons on and it looks pretty cool. I'm still struggling with the color choice as I really want to do the satin finish black but also like the two tone green and white. Let me know what you guys think.
As for the interior I am going plain Jane with arm rest and updated gauges and a comfortable seat restoration. I do plan to borrow an idea I saw on here and use marbles as inserts for the knobs. Being that this is a Custom Cab I will do a polish job on the dash insert. I think I will try my hand at restoring the steering wheel too, I have two to choose from.
Here are some pictures from when I picked it up until now.
