Red face New to the world of classic trucks.

Hello to everyone here. I have just inherited an 1967 GMC Custom Fleetside and am planning to restore/upgrade it. I am completely new to the classic truck scene so I will have a lot of questions coming up.

Current plans are to restore and update, replacing body panels, rebuilding engine, updating brakes and suspension, respray to original color, redoing interior.

I will go ahead and say thank you to all the people that will help me, give me advice and point me in the right direction for finding what I need.

p.s. I will be posting pics as soon as I can to get advice.

Re: New to the world of classic trucks.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum. You are definenatly at the right place for just starting out on your truck. I wish this site was around when I did my first one. Any advice or help I can give just let me know. I will give you one warning; once you start it becomes an addiction just ask my wife.
