new guy with a new pickup.
 

hey guys! i just purchased a 1969 GMC 3/4 ton pickup. it has a wooden bed in it, which i guess is kinda rare. the truck is in real good shape, has the usual rust in the cab corners and sills. im going to use it as a daily driver while i restore it. It has a 350 in it, with the automatic. the seat is destroyed, and the door panels are missing. i drove it to work today and i already have 3 guys at work who have parts for me. :) should be a good truck. i paid the guy a grand for this beauty.

here is a short video i shot, basically just a walk around of the truck.

Nice rig for 1k, I also found mine for 1K. There are lots of these trucks still around here which helps keep the prices down and lots of parts, good luck.

so the old truck had an issue headin to work today. she did fine all the way there, and i stopped for lunch and she cooled off. then i fired her up and headed to the shop, about 4 miles away. she stalled out, and when i hit the ignition switch, nothing happened, no engine cranky, nothing. just the brake light came on. then after a few tries, the engine started cranking again and after a few moments fired up. she did this three times. coming home from work she had no problems, for the entire 30 miles commute. thoughts?

Check your battery connections, make sure they are tight and clean. If they are ok, sounds like it might be the starter solenoid. Nice truck!!!
