Looks like a good solid foundation. Just use the forum you can find most anything you need to know around here. Good luck on your build, start a build thread so we can watch your progress. I'm definitely interested in seeing how the ole cheif turns out.

What a beauty! '84s are rare. '84 Chiefs are almost extinct.

Do you have the vacuum 4WD shift lever on your center console?!
