I've always been a fan of this body style.
Here's a few thoughts I had.... I'm thinking a mild sleeper. Are you thinking big block, small block, carbed, fuel injected, etc?
As far as the exterior, I'd say keep it clean and simple. I'd look for a younger late-model grille, early to mid-'90's, just to clean up the front end. Ditch the 15x10's, just my opinion.
Hope that helps get some ideas stirring.

I would go with a 383HT, 2600 stall convertor, 3.73 gears "if you keep the 15's", headers and exhaust, intake, custom chip, and the few things to make TBI's flow quite well with a K+N kit and fish bowl.
Plus re-paint white with maroon interior.

yeah i diffently wanna keep it white. i was kinda thinking on rebuilding the 350 but switching it to carb and camming it with full bolt on's or maybe dropping a 5.3 or 6.0 in it. think i should ditch the rims for some 17's or lil bigger?

Yeah that body style has always been my favorite. Was kinda thinking going for the 454ss look but white with the color matched grill, etc

Tough call on the motor setup, because I can see it going any direction, though I do like the 5.3/6.0 swap. Gives it a little something different. In the wheel dept. I think 17-18's would be good, though, I think, if it's lowered a little, that the truck rally wheels or the wheels that were on the 454 SS would look pretty cool.
