Anyone here ever restore an older (70's-80's) truck?
I've been kind of shopping around for a project to keep me busy when I get out of the Corps here next year, mostly 282 or 352 Pete, or Needle nose Kennie, but have only found a couple. I did however find a mid 70's 359 I like with a 350 cummins in it for cheap.
So since this is seemingly turning into a real thing, I'm trying to get a ballpark estimate of what to expect (yeah, yeah I know
) for an amateur at home resto. wouldn't be anything to enter in an AHTS show, but something that looks half way decent for show and shines, parades, putting around in.
I would imagine every seal, hose, belt, tire, etc would need to be replaced, but
anything else that might surprise the unsuspecting hobbyist?
