New guy with a 69 shortbed(pics)

Hello, I'm not only new here but new to these trucks alltogether... I just picked up a 69 shortbed chevy with a 350 and 3 on the tree.. it has a few rust spots but nothing to bad.. I got the truck for $2,200 and it drives great.. Theres a few links to it in my sig, my plans might not be the style as alot of yours but I'm hoping to learn alot of good stuff here

Those later model rims look sharp on there too.
Nice looking truck, how does it run? Is it pretty much stone stock under the hood?

Re: New guy with a 69 shortbed(pics)

Welcome to the board, that's a good looking truck for the money. A 4 barrel carb and HEI ought to wake it on up a little.

Re: New guy with a 69 shortbed(pics)

It may look like a 1bbl carb, but you probably have a 2bbl...they didn't put 1 bbl on the 350. But like Krue said, an HEI, and a 4bbl will make her seem like a whole new animal.
