Thought id start a thread that i can maybe add to as i go like akforce did (good read BTW)
.
First things first I need to work on the steering. The kid I got it from said no power steering but its more than that. It was all over the road driving home. Scared me a lot and I'm used to hard to drive stuff.
Seems real solid. Only visible rust is bottom of tailgate and passenger door.



Hope to get started soon

 

The kid went crazy with white spray cans. Spent a whole day with lacquer thinner on overspray

 

to fix the steering issues figure new tie rods, ball joints, bearings repacked and replace any bushings on the front end. if the steering is still scary you probably should consider a replacement steering Box. Red-Head would be the box of choice

 

Nice ride I hope to have a 78-79 one of these days
