New guy from So IL
Been lurking as I have been looking to buy a truck for awhile, but tonight I got one. 66 SWB Fleetside V8 Auto Big Window. Here's a pic. Going to make a nice Winter project!

Re: New guy from So IL
Thanks for all the nice comments. As for my plans, I haven't made up my mind completely yet but I think I'm just going to keep it stock and make the drivetrain highway friendly. Paint and probably lower it slightly and level out that rake. New wheels and tires and then drive and enjoy it.
