I had a long flight to think...

I need to get a good feel for what I have before I start investing in this..

Body needs to come off chassis...

Frame needs to be stripped and blasted
Body needs to be soda blasted and stored indoors

once these two things are done I can see what I have and how deep I want to get...

I might want to get M4wd in on the disassembly...
Dumpbus on the transportation
Profender on Ride control (assuming I give this a green light)

I am glad it stayed local.  I owned it before Steve got it.  Was going to build it for the "ex". 

Traded it to Steve for a 69 Bronco.  Always wanted one.  That is a build after the sami is done, if it ever gets done.

Did you get the crate of parts as well?  It had the guages cluster and other small trim items.

Good luck

Yup, harness and some gauges and maybe other stuff in a milk crate.

Sorry no history.  I bought it from an estate auction in Newark or Gowanda or something like that.  I bought the vin plate from a guy in Florida.

The closest I got to work on that was starring at it and collecting parts. 

I talked to the owner at the sale and they said that the v6 was a popular swap for them.  That's all I know about it.
