Hi! just purchased this amazing project!
As of now my plans are to make the body look amazing remove the rust, paint, and a new more modern interior. I'm in need of fenders doors and the right rocker panel. and maybe a tailgate. dreams of a body swap are floating around but not in near future. I'll make sure to post pictures as i go.

Congrats and welcome!! More pics when you get the chance!!
 
Want bucket seats, carpet, new door panels. Better stereo with speakers, head liner. The dash is cracked all over and glove box is broken.

Very nice!

You have a front grille and lights on the grille that I believe are native to the '69. Perhaps you have a very early '70? What is the build date?

If you would like to sell those marker lights in the grille, I would like to buy them, but honestly, you should keep them for your sweet Piggy!

Welcome
 
It says on the title first registered in 06/1970 that's a full 10 years and 5 months before I came around. Yeah I'll most likely sell them. I'll hit you up when I do. I'm going to make some custom LED turn signals. It's official I'm doing a body swap I'm starting to work overtime to purchase my donor truck. I'm hoping to have it completed in 18 months. And anyone looking for parts start to hit me up. I need money to fund doors and fenders and tons of lizardskin.
 
For some reason wont let me post more pictures and i cant remove my other pictures. not sure of the correct solution to be able to continue to post pictures of my progress.

There should be a VIN plate on the lower, driver side B pillar with a build date stamped on it, different than the first registered date.
Thanks for keeping me in mind with those lights! I appreciate it.
 
I'll look tonight when I get home. Any other things about my year that are different. I shift my transmission on the steering Column and the H N L for the transfer case is a knob on the dash.
 
Another 70 pig! Good luck and enjoy!

Ok broken bolts do you guys tap them all out or is there an easier way?

easier, no. drill and tap once broken. as fj mentioned, pretty much douse anything that looks like it needs to move in pbblaster (you can get it in gallon jugs at good parts stores), and possibly get one or two cans of loctite freeze and release. if you have a torch, that will do the same thing pretty much as freeze and release, albeit with damage to any paint or flammables nearby. you want to get the metals to expand or contract, then hit them with a lubricant to get the bolts out.
