Hi From Texas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BHRS · 09-20-2007, 03:21 PM

Hi, I bought my truck this spring and have been updating her to be my daily driver. This is a 3-owner original Texas truck that had been sitting for 12 years. Prior to it sitting it had new paint, seat upholstered, new tires, brakes, and a few other things. When purchased it still had all the original equipment including the smog pump.

I have updated her with Vintage Air, new dual exhaust, full service/tune up, and alot of cleaning. This winter I am going to insulate the interior, replace all the weatherstrip, and replace a few things in the cab.

I have always loved these trucks, my first was a blue and white '70.

Thanks for a great forum and looking forward to many posts.

Brian

Just added the pictures from Ebay when I bought it. I will post some "after" pictures when I get time to take some...Enjoy
