Initial plans were as follows:

LS swap with a Sloppy style turbo kit
4L80E and 1 piece driveshaft
4/6 lowered suspension
Patina body with refurbished frame and suspension
New brake and fuel lines
Relocated gas tank

And then the fun began, teardown! I probably dislodged, scraped, washed, and blew out with the air hose 32Lbs of southern Utah dirt. Supposedly the truck was some kind of telephone company truck originally. I enlisted some help from my teenaged son in an attempt to get him interested in cars, unfortunately, it only worked marginally.

Love the tin foil fuse job!
