Don't I know it. Check out the intro thread I linked above to see some of my previous projects. Not my first (or second, third or even fifth) rodeo.

Given that I didn't pick the color (painted before I bought it), I'm really happy with the color. Not totally period, but a classic Chevy color just the same.

Still up in the air. The ones on it now are very deep (reverse offset) 15x10. Leading candidates are 15x8 stock type with OE hubcaps. Looks like the suspension is lowered with springs on both ends, maybe 2" in front, 3" in back (as a guess).
The truck is equipped with a 305 V8 and A833 4-speed manual overdrive 'box, both dating from the early '80s. Engine has an Edelbrock 4-barrel on a Performer manifold, with open block-hugger headers, otherwise stock. New exhaust is also on the list.
5-lug conversion with front discs as well. Lots of new stuff to go with it. "Some assembly required," as they say.
