79 1 Ton Restomod

Well I decided maybe it's time a started my build thread. Truck is a Red '79 Chevy C30 camper special, with a 454, roller cam, headers, Edelbrock Carburetor and Intake Manifold, Corporate 14 bolt, 4.10 gears.

Plans:
Engine dress up: Flat black aluminum valve covers w/ Chevrolet in red. K&N Air filter w/ a black retainer and exposed filter on the sides and top. Spark plug wires cleanly routed along with a Corrected GM Hei distributor cap. Blackend engine compartment.

Interior: Black with silver trim, nothing special, swap the bench with buckets from a Suburban. Install sound deadener everywhere i can stick it, install one piece windows, take out the sliding rear window and replace with a standard non sliding. Install electric locks and windows, fully restore the A/c system, I don't like the looks of the vintage air set-ups, I like to keep things like that factory when i can.

Exterior: Two toned paint with Dark Carmine Red and Silver. Trim fully restored, 80s style mirrors, Hubcaps re-chromed and painted, rims re-painted factory white. Install h4 headlights with relay mod (considered HID but to me the effort/cost doesn't outweigh the benefits of an h4 by very much if at all, and by effort/cost I'm talking about retrofitting TRUE projectors).

There's A LOT more that I'm forgetting to list but as I remember I'll type them up when I get on.
