My first truck!

Hey guys my name is Joey I live in Austin, TX. I just got a new truck that I plan on fixing up. It's not in bad shape at all and I'm very excited to get some stuff done. Unfortunately the truck is at my parents house in El Paso TX so until I get rewired and pick up some new tires so I can drive it here I really cant do much lol. I'm not very experienced when it comes to fixing up cars but I learn very quickly so Ill be looking around and asking a bunch of questions on this forum. Thanks in advance for all the help haha Here are a few pics of the truck.

Nice looking first truck. Too bad someone hacked out the radio hole, but that is part of the fun.
Have fun with it.

Re: My first truck!

Welcome to the forum

I agree that is a nice truck. I especially like the chrome grill and the rest of the trim.

Re: My first truck!

Good looking truck. Look into American Auto wire for the wiring to redo it. I used it on my 65 and it came out very nice.
