Finally got my truck
Drove it home tonight.
68 swb Things that are wrong with it that I noticed on the way home. No wiper switch Turn signals dont work Speedo reads about 30mph faster than Im actually going Fuel gauge doesnt work exhaust leak and possible fuel leak brake lights work when they want to and they decide which side will light up an incredibly annoying squel coming from the cab Very sluggish when pedal is to the floor. Doesnt seem to downshift when you punch it on the highway. Any idea what that might be? Have to jiggle shifter to get it to start so I will bypass the nss tomorrow I'll post pictures tomorrow. Very little rust paint is a 15 footer Gonna take a while to get used to manual brakes Pleasant suprise when I saw it has been converted to disc brakes up front.

Re: Finally got my truck
Yes sounds like the perfect project. Love to see tons of pics. There might not be any kickdown linkage on the carb, thats why it isn't downshifting
