Reminds of NORCAL actually. Back in 98 my first visit to my uncles in Placerville CA I remember a bunch of cool 2wd rigs with whitewater kayaks sticking out out the beds. 2wd is not so popular around here but I dig them. A little country. A little surf. A little retro. A whole lotta cool.

I definitely like it - super nice truck!

Speaking of nor-cal, I was in Placerville visiting my folks last weekend. Here's my truck with a couple kayaks in back going for a lazy float on the Sacramento River.

Nice! Good color.

Ive only kayaked the American. Hangtown is pretty cool. I dig the laid back vibe. My uncle has since moved to Sea Ranch.

Nice! Welcome. GREAT first classic chev truck. Ask away - it might look perfect (and yes, it does!), but you'll want to dig and learn, and we're happy to help. Love the Custom Deluxe interiors when they are in like-new condition, looks beautiful with ochre. Post your SPID when you get a chance, we all love to read them...

WOW! Nice plunge into the vintage vehicles!! I would imagine you won't have to do much wrenchin' on that one. You picked an awesome site to help you along/ and show off LOL.
Have fun drivin' it!!! We all do!

Beautiful truck. No turning back now.....once you get the bug...... This is the absolute best forum on the web for our trucks. All the members are great and helpful and the moderators are top notch.

Beautiful truck ! I'm curious, what did you mean about the trucks in your area being "tacos" ?
Arnulfo

TheCougarine · 09-06-2015, 12:17 AM

I'd say he's referring to Tacomas.

Arnulfo · 09-06-2015, 12:24 AM

Oooooo! Got it .Thanks cougarine.

TheCougarine · 09-06-2015, 01:12 AM

no problem

Wow, that's a beautiful truck. Mechanically these are a breeze, especially with an HEI, IMO, and that thing looks sound. Daily driver huh? Looks like a show truck from here.

Probably hasn't been run that far for awhile check the fuel' filter. Would do that anyway as well as a complete fluid change and air filter that way you know it has all been done.
