Hi everyone, fresh to the board and wanted to introduce myself. I just picked up my first classic last week! It's a '69 and I think it is in pretty darn good shape, check 'er out:
The details:
- 350 w/ what looks like an original 2 barrel
- 700R4
- Leaf spring rear end
Things I am stoked on:
- Every light works
- Every gauge works
- The interior is in great shape, upholstery and carpet look new
- Truck has all records back to '70 and even has the original warranty card
- Original black CA plates
- Brand new tires
Projects to do:
- Carb rebuild (she stumbles if ya put a boot to it right off the line, maybe a bad accel. pump?)
- Primer fender / hood (gotta stop the rust, only surface...for now)
- Fix bed tear (the braces are missing in front of the wheel and its starting to tear)
- Headlight switch (she needs some wiggle'n to work)
- Driver window (rolls down past the edge of the door and is tough to get back up)
- Motorcycle tie downs (she's gotta get the dirtbike to the desert!)
- Weather stripping / door seals (it's a wind tunnel currently)
- Fuel filler gromet (rotten)
- Bedliner
- Paint job
- Disc brakes
Projects completed since I picked it up:
- Brakes (new drums, new shoes, new fluid, good bleed'n)
- Trailer hitch
- Trailer wiring
- Alternator belt
- U joint at the diff (busted bad)
- Right speaker (no worky)
- Rear view mirror (long gone)
