Well, its already a frankenstein car, 402 out of a 69 pickup, rebuilt and souped up. the front bench is long gone. The guy was converting over to bucket seats and console. the column shifter is still in it though. I think I'm gonna keep on making it a hot Rod, but im going to put a bench back in it and just go with all black interior. eventually will do body work and probably a matte black pain job or something like that. Found out last night after servicing the engine, and adjusting the valves that it has a flat cam. #4 exhaust wont lift so it's backfiring through the carb, so I will start with a new cam and lifters and just see where it takes me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazzNdazz Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Well I did find a guy not too far away from me that has a bench seat frame, an original dash pad, some other odds and ends, and he’s gonna dig through his stash of axles to see if he’s got a 12-bolt. Gonna meet up at his shop in a couple weeks and make a deal. It’s a start. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazzNdazz Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Not a lot of big work done on the 71 tonight, but I did get the battery cable ends cleaned up, reconditioned, new ground wire, and serviced the rear diff. She’s camped out in the shop with her green cousin for the night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the guy I bought it from kept that. I don't have an air cleaner for it currently. I need to get a spacer and a drop pan for it, then a cover.
