Re: 71 garage find stored since 73
In my opinion I'd restore it to original and claim it is what it is but....I'm building what your looking at doing...big block, ac, tilt, tach, buckets, posi etc., and I'm using period correct parts, the ultimate short bed. Your at the crossroads now, restore it and have a super low miles truck or build the ultimate short bed and forget about the low miles thing. When you put the Big Block in it is no longer original. Either way you go you will have a great truck and you scored one of the best finds I've seen on here yet!
Congratulations.
Brad
