Tech....Yes them are dual spots...Also run the full Lake pipes . I just think it was cool back in the day and seems it should still be that way.

I appreciate all your info and energy towards this build. I am still having my doubts about cutting on the old girl ,considering she is still such a solid car.

I'll give you the rest of the story . She is all original except for paint and wheels along with a few add-ons thru out the years. Early in her life the 216 gave out and was replaced with 235 truck heartbeat . It has plenty of life left in it , the three on the tree shifts good . Linkage needs a rebuild for sure. Also the old girl has been lowered the old school way of heating the springs. 1 1/2 inches in the front and 2 1/2 in the rear. Which brings me to my next thoughts........ What about doing a brake system upgrade, along with updating to an open driveline. Keeping the strong 235 and updating shifter to a nice floor shift, Swap out column to a full tilt column. Updating electrical to handle vintage air and a few extra comfort things for the passengers along with lighting upgrades. Id like to retain as much of the old girls looks as possible, for a fat fender girl she still gets a few looks, but can be a little hateful to drive some days. Your thoughts??
