I am so excited!
I just drove my new toy home!
Everyone, I would like you to meet her (yet to be named):  I drove her 53 miles from point of purchase to my house. Runs like a dream. Only issues were 1) a pretty severe pull to the left when braking and 2) I didn't want to stop driving. I will get out and take more pics tomorrow, just wanted to share as soon as possible.

Re: I am so excited!
VIN is CE134A112167 - I think this means:
C: 4x2 E: V8 gas 1: 1/2 ton 34: Fleetside? (not sure) A: Assembled in Atlanta 1: 1971 12167: ID or Serial number of actual truck? Let me know if this is correct, oh wise ones!

Re: I am so excited!
Great looking truck! We chased a pull in my brother's '68 Camaro SS for a long time. Turned out to be a failed rubber brake line on the front. Inside came loose and created a block that prevented any pressure from activating that side. And you can't see this. So if you can't find anything else, think about new rubber brake lines all around.

Re: I am so excited!
Here are some more pics from this morning:
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=7df6b741d3 After driving her a bit, there are only a few things that I am going to need to track down and change/fix: 1) the hard driver's side pull when I brake 2) the wheels have got to go ... I want either stock, or if you guys have suggestions, I am all ears. 3) The Q-jet needs some tinkering. 4) a little rust here and there, but nothing that jumps out at me 5) new steering wheel? not sure, I kind of like the stock wheel. She drives like a dream, other than some small burbles from what seems to be a carb in need of a rebuild.

Re: I am so excited!
Fldawg - I'm down here in the Cove, on Macarthur Ave. Glad to have someone local I can chat with about this!
I picked her up in Blountstown. I think I stole her, at only 5K.
