I am trying to keep it as original as possible...but there is a serious temptation to paint it another color...first the slide in camper...then see how things are going...the original paint needs wax pretty often...rear cab mounts need replacing too...about a 1/2 -3/4" sag developed...
it has 58,000 original miles...327/250 4 speed...squarejet carb...when I changed out the valve covers and oil bath, inside the engine was as clean as a whistle...my little time nachine!! I took off the split rims for regular use...changed out a few engine parts...better air filter, coil and had to rebuild the carb...other than that nothing...
I have had a few other older chevs...but this one is by far the best of for me...took a year of pestering the owners to let it go...I drive it every day...
added a little after market stuff...but of course saved all the orig's...I am a very lucky guy I know...I looked a very long time for this one...hope to drive it the rest of my life...ted
BTW some real nice lookin rides folks...lots of work there...but the result is priceless!
