Always loved these old trucks and about seven months ago I was able to get my hands on one. At the time I was 23yrs old and had VERY little experience with any type of auto work. Thankfully I have a good head on my shoulders and can take **** apart and put it back together along with other "good" qualities. Also, coming here from time to time asking questions which all of you guys gratefully answered.


It was posted as a 67 Fleet with a 350.. but it did not run.. Another guy my age bought it from his uncle and said there weren't many issues with it. I took it from him for what I thought was a steal at just over three grand. Once I got it running I stripped it down and began cleaning it up. I plan to have a more experienced rebuild in the future, but for this being completely my hands..no one else.. I am proud.

Completion: Incomplete.

Rollback two home:


Changed the fuel pump, messed with the carb a bit.. got it running.



Now that it was running.. I decided to strip it down! so lets begin.
