Hello from Wa
New guy here from Olympia, Wa. Just bought a 71 truck. This is only the 2nd truck I've owned, first one was a 79 GMC 3/4 ton Camper special with a 454... like this one more
 Anyway, This one is a 1/2 ton, 2wd, 350/350, that originally had a manual tranny. Has some rust in the rockers like usual, but other wise pretty darn straight. Paint needs to be redone, shes a 20 footer I've been working on this thing to get it to where I want it mechanically, looks will come later. I'm a total newbie to the v8 world, been into aircooled VW's since highschool.....my other ride is a 66 bug painted Blue Granite Metallic (chevy color lol) with a little 1955cc mouse motor thats on the brink of 13's....one of these days hahaha.. Heres a couple pics of the truck...Thanks for the cool site!!!! Joe    Oh ya, is that PCV valve connected to the right place...? I always thought they were connected at the aircleaner....

Re: Hello from Wa
Welcome from Santa Maria - nice looking truck. The steering wheel looks to be out of a '67-'68 CST - a desirable part!

CST -Custom Sport Truck - top of the line pickups. They had that nice chrome horn button. They are hard to find.

Re: Hello from Wa
Welcome from Bothell. We just had a get-together in Olympia in August courtesy of previously mentioned truck vendor WES.
Also in Olympia is Frank's Pickmup's (board member PICKMUP). He only deals out of his shop, no web sales, but he does carry used parts from time to time.
