Enjoy it, it looks great!
Cool. They were new when I was in high school. My Dad gave me a '60 Ford Country Sedan station wagon with a 390 BBF -- in no time I lost control of it and ran into a brick wall. Totalled. In the doghouse for a couple years. Then he sold me his '61 Mercedes 190B sedan and I drove the hell out of it thru college until I blew up the motor. Then I bought a used '68 Chevy truck [ at 23] and I've still got it.
Actually, I've never parted with one of my Chevy [or GMC] trucks, so I can't say what it would feel like.
