Nothing much yet. Havent even started anything on it yet, just replaced the starter to get it driving again.

It sits exactly as I bought it, only with a new starter.My plans are completly new updated interior, either rebuild the 350 with some go fast parts, or drop in something a little bigger. New paint, probably two tone it. Some nice wide wheels and tires and lower it down some. Maybe later I will drop in a 4.8 or 5.3 for a more reliable ride, but for now I want to keep it old school with the gas fumes and all.

One things for sure, I have to get rid of all the wiring the previous owner did. There are wires going to nowhere, they even had an old lamp cord being used for the radio power wire.LOL. I even found a positive wire hooked to the starter running to an old Realistic power booster that still works. I unhooked that wire when replacing the starter. There are about 5 toggle switches inside that lead to nothing, so all that will be coming out, along with the five 6x9 speakers that are screwed to the walls of the truck with some wood screws.
