I can really relate to your truck. I have my dad's truck that he bought new in 1968. My older brother and two older sisters learned to drive it too. But with all the awsome build threads, I really appreciate these types of trucks. I pulled up next to a beautiful red shortbed this weekend, had the factory air and a big block and a cam that was shaking the pavement. I could barely hear him talk. My little three on the tree and I grinned when he pulled away and he was about a 1/4 mile down the road before I let my clutch out. He probably didn't even hit two grand on the tach.

Speaking of a clutch, I finally tracked down my squeak. I always thought it was the spring. It was coming up from the bottom pushrod into the upper pushrod inside the engine bay.

With no more rattle in the windows and no more squeaky clutch I don't know how to act.

I would also like to get mine appraised, as I have no idea what it would sell for. I have about $2,700 into restoration.

Nice picture there, too!
