Howdy, y'all
Another new member from Texas. I'm getting ready to retire and have been thinking of spending some time fixing up my 68 GMC (250ci 3 speed standard). Bought this truck from a farmer friend about 15 years ago. His father died and left the truck in a barn with 26,000 original miles. Needs some rust removing, but not a bad little truck.
I also have a 69 chevy that used to be my work truck. I will try to fix it up after I finish with the GMC. I've gotten some good information from this site in the last month or so and hopefully I can contribute in return. |
