Now my plans are to put a 351W with AOD. Leave the stock rear end I think it is a Dana 44 not sure of the gear yet I have been told it could be 4:11 or 32.
I am taking the front end apart now. Going to put disc. brakes and rebuild the whole front end. Leaveing the stock streeing.
steel 7" wheels up front with 235x60x15 and 8" with 275x60x15 on the back. May chang the front to a 235x70 up front. Going with big moon hup caps.
Doing inside in a gray because the man I got it from had bought the interior stuff all readt and I have some seat that are all ready to go in and they are gray. Leaving the stock gauges they are really in great shape. Going to make it 12V system so I well put in a voltage reducer.
The body is in great shape going to leave some of the old look on it but take all the dents out. It well end up hot rod black.
The frame well all be cleanded and paint. All new nuts and bolts. I want that clean and detail look.
I well keep you all up dated. I want to try and get it done by this time next year.
