Hey, my name is James. Never been into america cars really, but I flip houses and I was borrowing a truck and decided I need to get my own. Ive owned a 1967 Volkswagen bug and a 98 Subaru Forester, both of which I couldnt help and modded them both. I hope I dont modify anything on this truck because its the most original vehicle that Ive ever owned. Only a few pics for now until I pull out my good camera and shoot it. Here are a couple just so we have them for before and after pics. Ill give more details on the thing in an upcoming post....
Picture from the seller before I drove across the state to pick it up:

Okay so now I'll note some of the things that I have done to the car, I have replaced all the coolant hoses, replace valve cover gaskets, painted valve covers chevy orange, painted the air cleaner black, removed the farmtruck side walls on the bed, installed a cigarette lighter to charge my phone, just gave it an oil change today, new radiator cap, new windshield wipers as the ones I bought it with were OG, yeah you read that right, OG wipers of all things. I have only had time to buff out one section of the paint but the paint on this thing is going to be epic when buffed. More Pics:
New vs old heater core (the og one cracked on me and leaked coolant when I put the new hoses on):

Like I said, once I buff it out Ill take some good quality pics. I will make sure and do some before and afters also. I also ordered new exhaust manifolds and gaskets so Ill likely have those installed soon and painted silver, because the ones on there now are rusttttyyyyy. Thats all for now.
