Looks good. Are you keeping the bed?  Either way looks nice.

Above was more of a test as I had a hard time with the pics. So got the truck in March. Previous owners put the omaha standard body on 4 years ago, it's like new. Rebuilt 350 4 barrel, newer clutch in the sm 465. I painted the wheels, new pitman arm, built stakebody for it, not pictured. New rear springs, shackles, ubolts, bushings. Sanded and master coated frame them rustoleum over it. Built a bumper. Changed fluids and filters.

It needs a drivers side floor, which I have just need to put in. Ebrake, shocks, and one or more u joints, have the rear most already. I also  am gonna do plugs and wires.
Rear end is beefy on these

Interior. Not bad, dash is bad, hole in drivers side floor (new panel, yet to put in). Original vinyl flor was gone, previous own put wall to wall carpet in. That wasn't for me, had some leftover garage floor mat so I cut that to fit in truck
