Thanks for all the info! Wow, it's going to take awhile to process all that.
i definitely do NOT want an automatic. I do want to keep the column shifter though.
The car is in excellent shape. the interior needs to be redone, there are a few pinholes in the driver's side floor, and the fenders have dings, but that's it. i don't know if the tranny works as the car wasn't running when i got it. the rear turns freely, but one of the wheels is missing 1 or 2 lugs. the stock wheels are 16" and i was thinking of going to 15" (5-lug) for simplicity. it will be lowered 2-3" so i will need to consider that when i get tires/wheels. i want to put skirts on the rear and caps on the front, so bolt patterns won't matter a great deal. i want to make this into a "traditional" kustom, so i don't want to use modern parts, like the blazer or toyota, unless it's unavoidable. so that means drums all around and nothing later than the early 60s.
i didn't know about that junkyard in WI! i'll have to check it out.
thanks again!
