Thought I would get this thread started this morning.

I pickled up the car in Nebraska and hauled it back to Colorado. Despite the snow we made it.

I have big plans for this car, including a 7.3 Godzilla Swap down the road.

But first are floor pans. wiring and general cleanup.

I would like to solicit any feedback on Suspension upgrades. Total Control vs Global West vs GPS Suspension? Good and bad experiences with them?69308097525__19759E88-5106-4FE6-AE3D-00D5B8091FE4.jpgIMG_5589.jpgIMG_5588.jpg69309579822__5B46F157-990F-461E-B582-DA40F9D1EA2E.jpg69369507515__70A9D946-4B64-474B-A518-5C6767A65824.jpg69369508482__1B582FBC-C46F-4AA7-B99B-AEA49A4791A2.jpg

Looks like you had a busy holiday! As for the suspension, it may depend on what your intentions are for your car. The companies you listed make some good products and much boils down to personal preference. You may want to consider Opentracker Racing (opentrackerracing.com), Street or Track (streetortrack.com), and Maier (mikemaierinc.com) also for additional ideas. I used the Global West subframe connectors and am happy with the result, though I think the fit could be improved on if you have fabrication skills.

Those are some period correct wheels! I laugh at some of the things we did to our cars back in the 70's and 80's.
 
Thank you, I am searching out as much as possible on the car before making any decisions.
 
Finally got some more tear down done today. The dash is out and the smell from the former rodent motel was not pleasant. Sadly the AC plastic center section is broken but that is fine. Trying to get all the glass and interior out to get the sand blasting done here in a couple of weeks
