Newbie in WA
Hi everyone!
Just another sick puppy in love with old trucks. Been addicted since the first time I sat behind the wheel in my dad's '71 Chevy Stepside. Learned how to drive with a three on the tree, no PS, no PB. Still have the truck and finally getting a chance to tear into it and give it the touch it has deserved. I have owned a few of the 67-72 trucks over the years, but my sister bought this from me to keep it in the family so I could buy a muscle car back in the day (1983). I bought it back years ago and the kids and wife expenses have kept it on the back burner. Now that the kids are older, I have more time and the wife is OK with me spending time with my first love... Here's to all of us sheetmetal heads passing this tradition to our own kids, since we are a dying breed of "self improvers". Throw one back for each other tonight!

Re: Newbie in WA
Thanks, guys! My truck looks a lot like yours, Butternut. But only in much needed repair and Cat yellow. Yours is very nice!!! Hope mine turns out as well.

Re: Newbie in WA
Thanks for the welcome! How about a pic of your Buick? I had a '67 Skylark GS in high school that I should have kept. Great car!!!
