In '67 my Dad bought a new '67 LWB Fleetside, 6 cyc/ 3 on the tree. That was the first truck I remember him having. He died in it in '71. We moved to KY, & uncle Ron had a '69 SWB Fleetside 6 Cyc 3 on the tree that I learned to drive in. In '75 or so he put a 327 in it. I still remember the problems they had trying to get it in there. This BB would have really helped! Once they got the 327 in there it ran like a scalded dog!
Then in '84 I moved to Concord NC, There was a 69 SWB Fleetside (looked like Uncle Ron's old truck) that was a 350/400t a/c ps pb (21 options) truck on a lot. it had a set of 235/60/15's on 8" fake Cragers and was shining! Man it looked good. I had a POS Ford Fairlane (leaked oil from everywhere) that I had just about had it with. So I traded the Fairlane in on the 69. I've had it ever since. Best decision I've ever made.
