Made a deal on this thing a few months back, and finally brought it home this weekend.

Traded a set of 3/4 ton axles with 5.13s in them, and a well worn 465/205 combo for it.

454 runs great, body is surprisingly solid. The bad: right rear wheel is locked up, and the TH400 doesn't respond at all. I've got one I'm planning on dumping in it for now, then eventually I'll pull it back out and replace it with the 4L80E I've got sitting in the shop.

I have a complete blue bucket seat interior from a 92 that I'm thinking about installing, and then murdering it out. put some nasty tires on it, convert to composite headlights, and tow like a madman

Looks like you did well considering what you have invested.

My vote goes to keeping the tan interior. I also vote for the '93+ W/T grille!

Tan seats are kinda nasty, plus the 92 stuff is full power. Nothing really wrong with the interior panels, just the seats are junk, and what I have it's a different color. I'm also going to put the R134a AC system in it, so I'm going to have the dash out anyways.
