New to the family
Just bought my first truck in this 67-72 range, I've been really digging this site so far, there seems to be a lot of info that will be useful.
I'm the second owner of this truck, it has 50197 miles on it, and all the paper work from 72 until 08 (oil changes, tag renewals, and general service on everything from the battery to the points.) The body is really straight, paint has a few scratches here and there. Some one keyed the hood for him at a high school basketball game several years ago. I picked it up for $1500 the other day, thought it was a bargain. I haven't decided what im going to do with it just yet, It is all original right now, even the spare tire is original. I really like the lowered tricked out look, but man it is so close to original the it would almost be ashame to mess it up. The only body work it will need is a thumb sized dent below the passenger side tail light. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ageID=33890616 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ageID=33890657 Last edited by Rooster2007; 08-12-2008 at 01:39 AM. |

Welcome aboard.
You won't find a better group of people, or more truck knowledge anywhere.

Re: New to the family
I'm new to the family also. From what I've read so far ya'll are a way cool group of dedicated owners/builders/tinkerers etc. I hope to learn some things from ya'll about my ole girl. I bought her from the original owner about a month ago. Rebuilt 350, 80,000 miles ago. 214000 original. Pretty much bone stock and needing some tlc. What should I do first?
