You will be haunted by the ghosts of bodymen for years for suggesting that.
Well, I figured out what I want to do with this thing. I think I'm going to remove the trim and badges, knock off, grind off or sand off all the rust I can. Prime it, paint it olive green, and paint the badges and wheels black. Put the badges back on, and add a nice Ram's head hood ornament. How's that for original? Not. Oh well, its what I'm doing. Should be ready for the second turkey season of the year.
I also picked up some new hydraulic struts for the rear hatch. They were around $15 a piece. Nice. No more broom handle.
Needs some Trucknuts

I had a 80 Dodge 3/4 Powerwagon 360. It got about 11-12mpg. I added headers and an Edelbrock carb/intake and got 14.
Friend had a 76 Plymouth Trailduster that went 250K on a 318
