Some of you may still remember it. Just dug it out of the corner of
my shop and dusted it off. Need a bed if any one has a fleetside
Also could use the front steering assembly: box, center link, tie rods ect...

got a 383 in mind for it, 1" chop, round headlights, custom grill and retro bumpers, wood floor, and maybe uni-bodied..

got another solid days work in finishing the metal work on outside of the cab...

lowered rear window frame 3/4" for stock glass, removed factory molding from glass, gotta relief cut each side and move frame in about 1/2" at bottom for 1/8" gap around glass and it will sit flush to cab..

bottom frame welded back and metal finished
