As long as I can get doors for this thing I'm pretty good, just a lot of disassembly, I think it will be an interesting build.

My Pops is the same way about modding out my truck.

It seems were never on the same page but he has started to notice that I will put what I want on the truck without his knowing and he comes to realize it was not that bad of a decision...

He found out I had my 1500watt amp and sub in when he saw my huge red 4 gauge power wire hanging underneath my truck LOL

Any ways, nice find! Hope to see it restored, though maybe an off roader type theme like the older broncos.

Oh yeah. It'll be restored, but a beast. 4" lift, shackle flip in rear, custom shackle up front. Built engine.

I'll figure out a way. Always do. Hell, my neighbor in Ohio farmed by himself for 10-15 years after his mom could no longer transport him to move machinery. He broke out the bicycle.

He replaced the clutch(requires tearing a tractor in two, literally) in a 4020 by himself.

Build that 390 to about 500 horses and throw some 38s under it do the interior, rust, maybe disc brakes and you'd be set. Don't worry Bout Makin it 100% original make it yours... I wouldn't make it a murder but make it where it can mud! Or look good best part of Doin a build is personalizing it!
