    Well after searching for a truck for awhile now I found a clean one. Now the fun begins I am going to drive it for awhile and do the rehab in stages. I am sure I will have tones of questions so when I get to the point of being a pain in the @#% let me know. Incredible info on this site I have been lurking around as a guest for awhile now.

    Welcome to the forum. No such thing as too many questions or being a pain in the A$$! Very nice looking truck. Did you find it up there in the Hill Country?

    Found the truck north of Ft Worth everything is very solid has a few oil leaks at the front of the motor but just have not had a chance to get underneath it and clean things up and look. Starts on first crank and drives just like an old strait axle truck should other than that just need to pull the drums and check the brakes it stops but has a pull to the right kinda makes people not drive beside you though so might not change anything:):)

    Welcome

    Welcome to the board. Nice looking truck. Good plan to try and keep it on the road as you fix her up. Doesn't look like it needs much fixing up anyways. Have fun.
