Haha, on the 80% percent that means definitely going to do the project. I know its going to be 100% over budget if I 100% commit to it so some hesitation!
Thanks for the replies all, glad to have a resource like the forums here. Will post pics as the project comes along.
About 80% committed to making my grandpa's 85 a reliable and fun weekend truck. Plans now are to do a crate swap, fix some body/trim issues, spruce up major interior pieces and then see where it leads.
Truck backstory: purchased new by a great uncle in Atlanta, GA and driven for a few years...
