Thanks!!! I'm on information overload trying to soak up all the info on the differences between them all, and the actual equipment (radio's, etc) that came in them, so I can start the ebay hunting.

My brother will be in on the resto, and it'll be a shared project, so this will lift the financial burden some.

How hardcore are people with restorations here vs some changes??

I want a true resto, but am not sure on the availability of parts vs cost. someone on fep mentioned maybe using 03+ 5 lug vic wheels and doing a 5 lug conversion...I saw a pair of those wheels today on a cop car that I swear looked just like the 4 lug 86 wheels.

Excuse all the newbie questions, I'm just trying to get a "feel" for what is so called taboo here, and what the general accepted practices are on these cars. Considering the production #'s of ANY year ssp, I don't want to do something, or make a change I'd regret later.
