Grampa just gave me his truck that he bought new in 68

all stock, runs good, a little rust. I hope to add power steering, disk brakes, and lower it a little

Thats a nice looking truck. I wouldn't do a thing to it. Just park it in my garage and look at it. Maybe drive it out into the driveway once in awhile to polish it.

Looks to be in great shape,wish I could find one that nice...

Nice truck

Welcome!!! That is the exact twin of my truck which was also my PawPaw's, bought new in '68. Very nice gift!!!
Here is a pic of mine, not meaning to highjack, just posting to show the twin.

Hola Salem Person

As you can see, all are saying, " welcome" and all are saying that you have an nice "as is" truck.

Nice looking "Cousin" that you have to the other truck in Salem.

I am sure there are others that have photos of era correct looking trucks that can show that to change this and that is not needed.

thats a nice looking truck. Thats what mines suppose to look like same color that someone painted over with pink house paint. very very clean and nice looking.

Man that thing looks nice!! Congrats and welcome to the site!

Welcome aboard and nice truck:Thumbsup My .02 leave as is. It's too nice.

thanks for the welcome and kind words. You guys may be right, I starting to think I should leave it alone, with the exception of the cheap repaint. everything works and if I start messing with it that may change

Before you repaint, use a top quality wax and low speed buffer to shine her up, you may be pleasantly surprised at how good the old paint still looks.

shake your granpas hand for me for preserving that truck so well !!! And Welcome . Andy

Wow, that is a very clean ORIGINAL Sweptline! Love the old black California plates. Your Grandpa was obviously good to that truck and I am sure you will be too. Post some more pictures if you get a chance. It is great to see a 'survivor' in such original good condition. Enjoy the 'new' truck and welcome to the site!
