My end goal is to have a DD cruiser that is nice and will get me from A to B without too much complaining and I also want a mildly built cruiser that is not too over the top, 35’s locked rear, PS, auto, and V-8.
The 78 is my current DD. The body is somewhat rough, not much rust, but it is all original. I am planning on straightening out the sheet metal this spring and putting a few new panels on it. The drive train is entirely stock but I want to add PS for increased drivability.
The 67 has a bad motor, PO blew a rod through the block, Opps! It has been converted to a floor shifter and has a PTO winch on the three speed. The pass rear tub has damage to it that could be removed with a little trimming that would also help with tire clearance issues. Other than that it is in amazing shape, minimal rust.
Because of the blown motor and how well my 78 drives, my thoughts are to leave my 78 stock and restore it and make the 67 my crawler. I know that the 78 has a far superior drive train, but I plan on replacing the axles on the 67 if necessary, I like disk brakes! I am just looking for thoughts on this and opinions on what I am thinking?
Thank you!
