Bought this about 2 months ago. Has a 350 w/ 350 trans, ford 9inch, power disc brakes all-around, 4 wheel discs are nice. Ididit tilt power steering, working AC.
now for the cons, older amateur restoration, so has some of the usual spots on the body that need attention to be fixed correctly. Paint up close has flaws, frame has 2 rust spots that need attention.
i have got brackets to move the front seat back 3 inches. I would normally just take the body off and do the frame or replace it, but i currently live on a navel weapons station as a DoD civilian employee in my RV. So no place to do such work. So at the moment it is just do patch fix to drive.
I actually have to outsource the frame patching and welding as we are barely allowed to set the timing here.
