New Member Saying Hello

[kdailey4315]

Hi all,
I'm new here and just wanted to say hi. To say that I have found my dream truck would be an understatement. I recently picked up an original owner 1970 Chevy 1/2 ton SWB with 176k on it. My father had a truck just like this when I was a kid and we always dreamed of restoring it but unfortunately he was forced to sell it. I've been searching for the right truck since my father passed about 3 years ago and I've found it. As you can see it is 99% original with a tired 307. My plans are to tear it apart and do a complete resto with my son in my father's memory. I got it for 3k and I think I got a great deal. There is only some surface rust on the bottom of the door and around the drip rail (which I will probably remove). The only cancer spot is the passenger side rocker and a bad cut/weld job on the passenger fender. Enough of the talking here are some pics.
