We are starting the Overhaul

[mdw]

Not so much a complete overhaul as much as a fix up I guess. Plans call for updating our 1972 original 1/2ton burb' with a 350/350 combo pretty basic from the factory. Plans call for the following;
New windshield
New wheels
Serpentine belt drive
Electric cooling fan
Either a 700r4 or a 5speed manual
Update seating
Rocker rust repair
Sound system
Paint
and I am sure there will be more. The purpose of this is to build a vehicle that is full of style and class, to teach my kids mechanics, and to also show that a nice vehicle can be had on a budget. I am a disabled vet that after 20 years of working, my injuries have caught up and I am limited now in what I can do and believe me disability pay is not much so the cheaper things prevail. I have done a lot of research on this forum and a lot of what many have done will be done on mine, First being replacing the windshield this weekend along with the start of new seating in the front, I will try to post all the progress as it happens. I am sure there will be surprises and changes along the way but I am excited about the build. BTW the date stamp on the camera is wrong these pics are from November
