Thank you all for your "welcomes" from so many states, I'm impressed. You're all very helpful. I inherited dads truck when he passed away. My mom passed away 23 days later, she stuck it out till dad died, then her job being done, just quit. So, dad's beautiful truck I got because the other siblings didn't really want it. (silly gooses). I'm very happy to have it, grew up with it, going on camping trips, there was a camper on the back-just what that truck was made for. I can remember dad rattling the coffee pot early in the mornings urging us to get up and go play wherever we were camped, rock hounding, fishing, etc.
I want to restore it, which mostly will be cleaning and relpacing worn out parts, period. i'll keep it original, and drive it too. I'll go to some shows but will have to stick by it closely, especially after seeing what parts for the truck cost!!!I'd hate to have to replace parts that get ripped off.
Any way, that's the story so far. I'll keep you posted and probably ask more questions later. Thanks again. JJ
