The timing gear and chain, flat tappet cam, push rods and lifters, springs will not be used either, probable the rockers as well... Possibly,,,,,,,,,,,

I don't have much dough so I'd like to stay simple and not go with an expensive smoke and mirrors power steering pump that looks good but performs equally

The shocks are blown out and need replacing, i also painted these because the coils are still good but the shock inside is blown. Figured someone might want these too. We are going to lift the truck with a suspension lift to clear the tires properly , 3 to 4.5" lift , deciding on height,,,

The body was in great shape picking it up but man does it need a lot of love. After 3 days of buffing and moaning and groaning THIS is the beginning result of what it will look like in the end
