11. Next on the list...

I have had the good fortune to acquire a donor truck (a '68) for a very good price. It has the 327 motor/trans set up (which I will sell), but in terms of door panels, windshield, windows, headliner, dash section, accelerator pedal, shock towers (I have a broken one), and a 100 other things, it is perfect.

1. replace the broken accelerator pedal mechanism (need to drill the new floor panel to mount)
2. Shim or just replace the upper driver side door hinge (pretty floppy, and I have a spare now)
3. Go through the brakes (the donor has fresh-ish drums and master cylinders on the front at least).
4. Install a missing hood latch pin
5. have done a section of the bed - (heavy sanding, rust conversion in pitting, then POR 15 treatment) on a 2'x2' section of the truck bed, that stuff is amazing and it came out great - will keep doing the bed in sections (sand, weld shut holes, grind and treat (just how much stuff did the PO have screwed and bolted down on that bed?)

• Still looking for a Buick 350 intake manifold to upgrade from my two barrel to a 4
• got to figure out how to adjust the 4WD shifter to keep it from banging on the transmission tunnel cover.
• I have a "1 ton" truck which is cool on one hand, but it also means I have two different bolt patterns between the front and rear wheels, hence two damn big spares when I am all done. Still thinking about that...
