New to trucks and new to this site from Portland, Orygun

Hey guys, I have been reading on this site since before I purchase my "new" truck. I have to say that you guys know what you are doing and I am glad to have such a wealth of information available to me, I have even seen a few active members from my area (nice to know).

Anyways lets get to the point. I am a new and VERY proud owner of a 1965 GMC Shortbed Stepside. Its currently painted "Farmer John Green" and even has the white wheels to match haha. I found it on Craigslist for $800 and well it ran so I bought it .

It has a 230ci inline 6 (I haven't checked to see if it is original or not), the only mods are Chevy Hubcaps (soon to go away), a very old cassette deck (already removed), and a Hurst Floor Shifter.

I did a little tune-up on it the day I bought it (June 3rd) to include: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser, points, 4 gallons of 92 octane gas, 1/2 a can of SeaFoam in the gas, 1/2 a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase, PCV Valve, Fuel Filter, and Air Filter. I drove it home (if you know the area) from Foster and 99th to my place off of 212 in Clackamas.

Immediately I need to change the oil, adjust the shift linkage, and wire up the brake lights and signals (they are wired but not getting power to the white wire off the brake switch or anything to the rear signals.)

Let me know what you guys think.
