They painted it an original orbit blue which is cool. Definitely not a show job but it works for now. Happy that it has a pretty clean body overall and now getting to work just hoping to get my dad driving one again. He doesnt have money for it so it's all me. Just putting together all the pieces and resesrching the rest Loving the memories and fun. Lots to learn for sure and so thankful for this place

Nice looking truck! I'd say drop a motor and overdrive trans(700r4) in it, leave the original rear end, fix the existing brakes and drive it. Then tackle your list as money allows. They are more motivating to work on if you can take it out for a drive once in a while.
