Had this truck for 13 years and it's had the normal upgrades, locked 60's, crossover steering, 10pt cage etc. When I first got it I dropped in an '82 360 and '88 TBI. Drove it for a few years then dropped in a '90 roller 360 with a mild Hughes cam, intake and headers, still fed by the factory TBI. During all that time it was still just an old rattletrap beater.....but I've been doing some work on it in the last year.
My goal isn't boner inducing build quality, just a nice driver/capable wheeler to pull a 20' camper with. Getting old, like to go see a few things and run a few trails before I kick it. Before you ask why the new A/C t'll be getting a soft cover to enclose the back of the cab and some fresh paint before long. Still have considerable work to do first. Just talked to a guy about the cover, he was stitching up an interior for a damn nice '30 Model A street rod. Told him to put me on the list, be August or so before he can get me in.
So anyway, that's the plan and here's how she looked about a year ago.
