new guy in town
Hello gentlemen. I have been lurking this site for a while, but time to step up and get to work. I have a 67 SWB that I Have owned about 10 years. I am the second owner of the truck. The truck was bought from my dads cousin with 76,000 original miles, (original 283 with power glide), for my girls to drive to high school. Being girls they hated the idea of driving an old truck to school. I lowered the truck, installed disk brakes and a/c and a radio and off they went. The deal was that if they drove the truck thru high school and took care of it, I would buy them a car when they went off to college.
Both of my girls drove the truck thru high school and never damaged it. By the time they finished school the original old paint had faded away and it was time to paint and clean her up. I have posted a couple of pics of how I have the truck presently. Next step is to completely rebuild steering and suspension and install a new LS motor or rebuild the original 283. I like the original stuff, but the LS is so user friendly, that it is hard to pass up. Thanks in advance for all the info and help everyone on this site provides. Much better than a lot of the other car sites. |
