Another new guy
I figured I would use my first post here to say HI. I have always loved the '67-72 trucks. I haven't had one for close to 10 years, but my current one is my eighth. It was my uncles old truck. Its a '70 that he had owned since '72. It had been sitting since he had a stroke ten years ago. I had to cut down several trees to get the truck out of its hiding spot. Its a long bed 1/2 ton that still has its original 350/4bbl, and automatic. I cleaned out the fuel tank, put in some fresh gas and a battery, but no start. New points, and it started! It was barely running, but it ran. New plugs this weekend, and its running great! I added a couple of quarts of tranny fluid and I'm driving around the farm! I'll have to learn how to show pics so I can share them with everyone here. I've already picked up my new rockers (inners and outers) and cab corners. I am thinking of lowering it, a 5-lug conversion, and front discs. I have already moved this project to the front of the line. I think the next task will be to get the passenger door opened. I had it open once, but the latch seems to be frozen now. Anyhow, I have been enjoying seeing everyone elses projects here, and I look forward to participating in the forums.

Re: Another new guy
Welcome from norcal! Easiest way to post pics is to download them to a website like photobucket, then copy the IMG code from the website and paste it anywhere when you post on here and it will show up as a picture after you submit.

Re: Another new guy
Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I am sure that I will be asking plenty of questions. I have owned several of these trucks, but its been an awefully long time since I really did much work to one. I guess most know how it is, the family and job use up lots of time.

Re: Another new guy
welcome from cali, glad to here you're keeping the truck. make sure you take off the passenger door panel to make sure the pull rod didn't come out of the latch assembly try a product called pb blaster (stuff works) on all rusted bolts/ parts. any who, make it fun. Pat

Re: Another new guy
Welcome from Missouri.
I found this place shortly after I bought my old bucket. And yes it's still in a hundred plus pieces at the body shop. So good luck with your truck and by all means post up some pictures!
