Hello all!! From Canada

[1968_K20_4x4]

Hello to everyone,

Im new to the site, and Ill quickly tell my tale of what brought me here. Growing up on our farm my dad had a 1968 Chevy C60 dump, and as a kid I fell in love with that truck. It was loud and old and just everything cool to me! I used to sit in the seat and play with the gearshift and imagine I was driving the truck down the road. I took an interest in these trucks, and I started to notice the half-ton versions of the trucks around, and I decided that some day I would own one. As years went by I grew to appreciate other classic trucks, the square body chevys, even the square Fords from the late 80s (My dad had an '88 F-150 for many years) but I always kept my love and appreciation for the 67-72's as my all time favorite trucks.

Now I am happy to say that the time has finally come for me- I have found and purchased my dream truck!! It is an orange 1968 Chevy K20. Its got the 327 motor with a 4 speed manual. Originally from California, this truck is in great shape, with only surface rust in the bed and on the cab roof (Amazing to find a truck in this good of shape here in Canada!!)

I have already been reading many articles and doing a lot of reaserch on this site, and I am happy not only to share my love for these trucks with other people who appreciate them as much as I do (My poor wife has heard enough truck talk lately lol) But I am also looking forward to gaining invaluable knowlege, advice and ideas from other users as well
