Definately a 5-speed, maybe a roll pan, re-do the interior, new weatherstripping, and I need to do alot of strightening up on it(wiring and such) Other than that, I don't know.

Very clean and straight...personally, I've always wanted a satin black vehicle so I think it's perfect right now

I'd do what you mentioned and call it quits.

The '73 -'87 trucks look better when they're either restored or kept simple with a resto-mod flavor, just my opinion.
