Immediate items:
Reattach the speedometer cable to the transmission (Going to need to find some info on this)
Replace one busted brake line
Ditch the split ring tires and replace with some 8 lug steel rims I have laying around, then maybe 235/85R16 tires to keep the tall skinny look.
Order some new front fenders
Send it out to get replacement rockers/inner and outer/can corners/inside kick panels
Send it out to weld up and repair the cab mounts on all corners
Try to get any patch panels painted close to the current matte red/orange color


Then drive it and show it off as much as possible.
Dang cool truck!! Can't get over the look, K20, 3/4ton, old M+S tires... great combination. I'm glad you're going to be keeping it original. Those suckers are far and few in between now.
