New purchase on USA trip - 62 Stepside

[Swed]

Hey all!
I've been surfing around and i'm now a true member of the forum, what a great source of information!
I want to share my story about the truck i found and purchased.

As a preplan before our trip from Sweden where we live to USA I was checking CL and found the truck in Atlanta GA. I checked all the bigger cities we were going to visit and a bit close to Pensacola FL (where our friends live)
Its a 62 stepside with a 350SBC and 350TH Tranny.

I drove it from Atlanta GA to Troy AL where our friends has a farm house.
The trip contained alot of vibrations and it turned out that the guy i got it from didnt do proper a job for the drive shaft. So a new tail house for the 350TH was needed and new drive shaft with the correct lenght was put on.
After I took it from the shop it was like a new truck compared to what it was!

Well, after some traveling around visiting Savannah and some other nice places the journey down to Pensacola FL began. Alot of sand was swirveling around in the truck and it was boiling inside! The ride was pretty good exept for a need to fill the truck a couple of times, it felt like the ignition wasn't correct and well, the 350SB with the 350 tranny wasnt to pleased with the original read end gear ratio. So the fuel consumtion wasnt great..

The truck is now at a shop in Pensacola for some installation of disc brakes and to change the rear end. Its cheaper to do this while its in USA than for for me to get the parts here and do it on my own.
I have collected some parts for it to become a daily driver that I'm going to install when it arrives.

In april its leaving American ground in an container on a boat for the transportation over to Sweden, im really looking forward to the spring!

Thank you for reading, I will for sure have some questions about it..

So pictures..
