Honestly, after dealing with stuck calipers and crusty rotors, I'd welcome changing shoes on drum brakes. Beautiful truck, and welcome.Thanks for the encouragement and replies, dual plane will be the way to go (edelbrock performer air gap looks good), i am used to using single plane intakes on the strokers i have done in the past. I agree the drum brakes will stop it fine i just hate hate replacing brake shoes lol.

Good to hear! I'm a firm believer that girls can and should be able to play with cars and trucks! This includes knowing how they go together how and why everything works. If you know what's going on with your vehicle, some unscrupulous people can't tell you they're going to fix it and just create more problems and take your $$$.Welcome to the forum from Louisiana!
Very nice truck. I think if you give the interior and engine bay a good cleaning you won't believe how much nicer it will look. Just a few touch up's and that will take care of a lot of it. Yeah, just a mild performance upgrade will be all you'll need for that engine. They had so much power to begin with it won't take much over stock to burn the rubber off the tires anyway. And yes, as been stated do the A/C. And do go with Vintage Air.
Good luck and have fun with it. And get that girl out there and have her help with the rebuild. She will attract boys who know how to work, and not some boy who sits in front of a game all day. Those car boys aren't all that bad, at least they like being outside the house. I taught my daaughter as much as she was interested in. Now I can talk to her about car stuff and she knows what I'm talking about. It's a great bonding between father and daughter.
