Specs:

Borg Worner Quadratrac with vacuum locking center diff

Optional Low Range (unsynchronized unfortunately)

Trailer brakes

Front and rear dana 44s

2BBL AMC 360

GM TH400

Bad:

The rear glass switch is on the fritz

Idle speed is too high

Needs a rust hole patched in rear quarter from where the carpet in the jack compartment rusted it out

Needs general maintenance (brakes are scary) and door/window hinges need to be lubricated

Some dash lights don't work

Carpet is worn and faded in some spots

Good:

Every works mechanically

Stupid comfy

Starts and drives like a dream

The radio works (something original and electrical in an AMC works!)

I think I did pretty good for $1800 :)

Sweet rig, do you have any future plans for it?

Immediate plans include doing maintenance because it sat for 2 years. It needs a new brake master cylinder and I need to fix the rear window switch because the last thing I want to do is break the rear glass. I'm going to put bedliner on the floorpans and fender wells.

Future plans include possibly doing a 3" lift and some good 31" tires and patching the rust hole. That's about it really; these things are pretty nice when they are close to factory specs. Maybe a 4 BBl swap.

Nice. Looks stock. Hope you keep it that way.

It is stock.

I plan to keep it that way. It is the most comfortble riding truck I've ever been in and I'd hate to ruin the ride.

My kind of plan. Beautious. Wish it was mine.
