Showing my rig on a trip to Seattle and back some years ago.  It had the old 6 cylinder/4 speed and truck seat (I made some good money selling those vintage items on Ebay!)  This is essentially a rust free, rare original that I have added disk brakes, 2002 Chevy Tahoe power bucket seats (plush!), 350 four bolt main V-8/350 auto, 78 C-30 rear end.  I am unable to finish this, but it occurs to me that someone may really prefer to get it with the front clip removed in order to do the "rodstoration"  their own way.  Rig is in dry storage in my garage and the front clip is hanging from the rafters.  I have or can take any pictures you want to see.  Below is a picture of the original build sheet which they stuck under the seat springs at the factory.  Click any of these pictures to biggify them.

Below is a picture showing the REZ adapter bracket to mount the 1978 1 ton steering gear to the frame - note painted frame rails!
