Newbie - returning
I had posted some questions about a truck I was interested back in October and have been lurking on this site since then. Owner finally came down to the price we could both live with and I bought it last weekend.
It drives great ! There is an engine oil leak and a few things that need some attention, but my son and I drove to the local car wash to de-grease the underside of the engine. That day it was in the 60's and a great day to show off our "new" truck. So I am back. I must say this group is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have been away from mechanical "stuff" for quite some time. I used to own a 71 LWB, 72 LWB and 66 LWB back in the day (79 - 94) , kinda wish this group existed back then, I wouldn't have sold them. I need to become a premium member to give back to this community. Here are some pics - got the PO to throw in the Peach State 1969 license plate pretty cool. Its a 69 CST with a nice running 396 with a 3 speed. I will post more pictures later. |
