    Pay no attention of the date stamp on the pics....I evidently neglected to reset the date!

    Planned Build:

    New Exhaust
    Replace timing cover seals
    Replace timing chain tensioner and guides
    Static Drop (old school)
    New wheels and tires
    Fiberglass dash
    SR5 instrument cluster (depends on availability)
    1989 or later exterior door handles
    new carpet
    Re-cover seat
    Build new door panels (fiberglass)
    and of course the body work and paint.....along with whatever I can come up with as it progresses!

    Thanks! approximately4" front, twisted the torsion bars, 3" blocks in back...Rides good, slight stiffness in the front, but the A arm bushings are shot as are the shocks, going to try a pair of 1975 Pinto shocks up front, word is they collapse more than the stock ones.

    I made enough to pay for my new truck and have it transported 1800+ miles, that's all I needed.
