Plans for it go as follows
Put a V-8 in i have one ready to go
Either put a 700r4,use the TH350 i have or put a 4 spd in it havent decided for sure on this one
Change the wheels to my gm rallyes
New tires
New exhaust
Fix dent in rear bumper or replace with sport bumper
Change over to gm style sport mirrors for that vintage
Buff out the paint as this is the first truck ive owned that actually has a nice paint job on it
Check over all the mechanicals(brakes,front suspension,rear axle,steering,everything else necessary to check)before its initial voyage which will hopefully be this summer or early fall at the latest.

When i think of more as this truck is in pretty good shape ill let ya know what i come up with ideawise
