Hello all, this is my first post here. I've been loosely on the trail of this particular truck for a few years now. I just brought her home a week ago, bought from the original owner's son.



From what I gather, she was originally built in San Jose, bought in LA, and spent some time in the Imperial Valley. Everything is in pretty good working order, the 223 sounds great, brakes are strong, everything that's supposed to move does, and things that aren't supposed to move don't.
I'll be doing an "updated restoration" with her, just things to make the truck safe, reliable, and useful. Since I took these pics I've had some nice tires put on, changed the air filter & plugs, and ran a bottle of Lucas fuel cleaner through just for fun. I'll change the oil probably tomorrow once I get my hands on the filter.
I also removed the spare tire mount off the front and stripped the peeling paint off the chrome grille.





My 2 year old son is crazy about this truck!
