"Road Toad" 70 SWB S/Side

My last truck to be restored is this 70 SWB 4x4 that I bought off Ebay.

It is a second owner truck, and from Kentucky.

The truck had been repainted and had rockers replaced about 10 years ago.
Other than that it had about 42k miles and was actually in decent shape.
We are replacing the rockers, kick panels, cab corners, cab mounts, and passenger fender pocket.

The young man that had it did not have time or the money to tear it up.....

It is a 3 on the tree with a 292. I would like to find a 6 cyl tach dash, 292 PS bump and brackets, a clean set of vent windows, and a pair of tow hooks to get it the way I want.

We will take the stainless off the truck and buff it out.

Like the others we will Raptor the underside and both sides of the front fender wells and inside the rear wells.

I bought a new tailgate and front panel, and got a pair of rear fenders off the forum, so I have some parts to trade, lots of parts.

I have an offset A/F so we can run power brakes for my daughter. We will rebuild the engine, trans, and replace the seals in the transfer case and axles.

May add A/C if the cost to rebuild what I have is not too much.
