I figured I would introduce myself. I have been lurking here for awhile gathering knowledge as we patiently waited to start our project. This is my wife's truck, it was acquired by my father in law in the early 80's from a wrecking yard. He fixed it up a bit and it became the family truckster. She remembers going from Northern nevada to Disneyland in California in it. It did not have a back seat at the time so the kids rode in lawn chairs for the while road trip. Fast forward a bit. I was a Dodge guy before I met my wife. Once we met I fell in love with her and the truck. The truck was parked when we first met 16 years ago, I struck a deal with my father in law 10ish years ago to aquire the truck. We are finally in a place to spend some cash on it and we are getting it going for my wife to haul our kids in it (has a back seat now). I got it running and driving now. Plans are to clean her up a bit. I want to do the interior up nice and leave the outside alone for now. We want to use it and enjoy it with our kids and some day break it down and paint and fully restore it. For now, have some fun. Here is a pic of the old girl.
