WOW!
My recent acquisition is this same color, which honestly I didn't care for until I saw your rig. Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees! I usually envision a car after it is cleaned up, but I didn't envision anything for mine like this until I saw yours. Just for fun, if you had to put a value on it, what would YOU put on it? Beautiful!

Thats a sweet looking truck. Is that a single piece driveline? Please post how you upgrade your brakes? Are you planning on using the T-2 hubs and rotors along with the brakes??? Rear brakes too. If you need help with the Torsen/LSD rear end upgrade I can be of help. Just did it the same conversion on my 77. The ring gear spacer thickness for 77 rear ends is different than the 74, 75, and 76 REPU's.

Will you be using the T2 hub, caliper and rotor? Or just the caliper and rotor?
Switching to 5 lug front and rear? Any brake upgrade for the rear?

Not sure at the brakes yet, my mechanic is fabricating a heat shield and working on a way to bring air into the turbo without a box. Looks like we might into the vent that goes into the cab, tap into it, since it's already enclosed.
