Immediate plans are to get all the mechanical stuff in tip top shape i.e.(replace rusted brake and fuel lines, change all fluids, complete tune up, transmission cooler,etc.) after that I wanna tackle the rotted out rocker panels and cab corners but I need to find someone who is handy with a welder.
Once that is taken care of I wanna redo the entire exhaust system, body lift, and some meaty tires. I also need to do some rustproofing to the frame so the ny winters don't completely destroy the frame as it is still solid but pretty rusty. Seems like a complete frame off would be the best way to tackle that but I lack the time and space to do that so I don't know how i'm going to accomplish that.
Other things on my wish list are a 14bolt SF axle 350 motor and deeper gears
I'm eventually going to do a build thread with pictures to chronicle all my work and so that I can take a look back and see how far I've come with the truck.
