Welcome to the forum.
Looks like you have a nice truck to start with.
Do you have any plans for it ?

haha plenty already

needs a few immediate things:
reverse lights are on when lights are on
throttle rod needs to be replaced
little odds and ends

but i want to get some new wheels and tires
front disc brake conversion(drum brakes are terrible right now)
handling upgrades for the front and rear

i'm sure i'll be doing lots to it
parts are WAY more available for this truck
parts for my former 81 VW Scirocco were none existent

so its a good thing and a bad thing i really link tinkering

other then on here
and good places to get info about the truck
stuff i'll need to go going forward when i start working on it?

Thanks!

You have a great truck there. Welcome to the forum. I wish I could locate a '67 3/4 ton in similar shape for a decent price.

After owning 13 watercooled VW's I can assure you that you made the right choice! I love my '67 C10!

And relativively cheaper. I just sold a 1992 GLI 16V grille emblem for $90! I almost threw it out but checked out the part # and found it was worth a lot. Oh and this site is so much better than vortex.
