How sweet it is...
I waited 3 years on this and it's finally mine!
It runs and it runs darn good. Had to put a fuel pump on it before we left with it and he did it for no charge. The choke needs to be fixed and he already put the rear shoes on it. He gave me the fronts along with a new set of front shocks. It's titled as a 67 but he changed the front to a 68. It is gorgeous in my eyes just like it is, even though I plan to clean it up good and do some cosmetic stuff to it. The out side will go untouched for the sake of the Pantina look! God I never thought I say that about a vehicle I owned. I got 15,000lbs tag today for it and have to call and get the insurance on it.I hope Hagerty's will insure it for me. Dad found a 12,000lbs wench at Harbor Freight to install on it. It needs the seat redone and a really good cleaning out. New front windsheild and gaskets all around it. I have some old parts from my 71 I will be putting on it. Door panels steering wheel and it's going to be a multi color what ever I can find for it.So if you want to donate parts feel free no matter how big are little. Thanks to my dad it's mine! It's just a cool old truck!
