The truck is torn down about as far as we are taking it. Every body panel, with the exception of the fenders and the tailgate, is at the blaster right now. One of the previous owners had butchered a hole in the trans hump for a shifter so we'll have to patch that up.

We've changed our approach on this one. After listing the 383/TH400 for sale for some time we just couldn't get the money out of it to make an LS swap feasible so we're going to keep the truck more original and try to cut the cost a little bit and make it more affordable for the eventual buyer but still make a nice truck. So that means a few things:
-Keep the 383/TH400
-No LED lighting
-Clean (pressure wash) and wire wheel the chassis in preparation for Chassis Saver (front portion has already been repainted)
-Full Vintage Air system (compressor that came with it is compatible)
-Repair the dash so an Autosound radio can be installed
-Cab rust repair
-Install a thicker radiator and aluminum shroud and fans
-Convert to top fill tank
-Re-integrate the side marker lights in the bedsides (someone had made an attempt at shaving them previously)

Other ideas we're undecided on:
-Paint the seats that came with it or use the bench seat frame from my 68, get new foam and a cover
-Keep the Intellitronix digital gauges or restore the cluster from my 68
-Single stage or base/clear paint
-Keep the floor shifter or convert to column shift

Next steps: frame shortening, rear suspension drop, frame cleanup and paint.
