Horrible.
Needed a New distributor
Fuel injection
rear Differential is a posi but replaced ( it would make some noise going over 40mph)
Spark plugs
Brakes
Radiator
Water pump


To get it running

Then I bought some used 24 "T.i.s rims and plastic dipped them
put the origanal hood
Limo tinted the entire truck
and sprayed it with Poly primer(temporary fix)

Any engine / power train plans in the future? Is a 4x4?
