Well, I have been lurking for a while. This site is awesome to say the least. My dad has recently given me his 1972 SWB 4x4. He bought it new and done a half job at restoration in '88. All stock, except quite a bit of age. I have had so many memories in this truck when I was a child and teenager. I met my wife driving Ol red in 1994..... His truck has been sitting for quite some time, but Im really excited to get it going.
I just found a nice deal on a 69 4x4 for $2000, headed there now!! |

Welcome to the forum. You're among friends here. I like the red truck.

Sounds like my experience! My dad gave me his 1972 that he bought new. I haven't met any women in it (yet) but I did have some great dates with my high school girlfriend 20 years ago.
 Considering it as a dating vehicle, why would anyone prefer floor shift over column shift and bucket seats over a bench?
