new truck
I just purchased a 1970 F250 sport custom with a 390 C-6, it is in fantastic shape still has bias ply tires and split ring rims, with my purchase came a brand new set of headman headers, a tool box in the back, ford truck bible, studded snows mounted seperate,a straw cow boy hat and a roll of duct tape.
I know it needs a tune up bad, the carb needs adjusting and the tranny fluid changed, but the one thing is it makes a sucking noise that kind of quiets when I hit the brakes, could this be the vaccum hose for the power brakes, and the steering is kind of clunky could it be the knukle or whatever that thing is with the rubber sandwhiched between it.
any how it was after dark when I got it home so I will look it over better tommorow I am so pumped

hahahaha- yea, with the chevy engine, it's mandatory!
I have a buddy with a truck like ours, he has a window sticker that says "real trucks rattle"
Thought that was fitting.

That sticker pretty much covers it. But they are just like a Timex " they just keep on ticking".

Alright! A cowboy hat and a roll of duct tape! Score! Blue came with a fishing pole and I found a fishing hook in Goblin's glove box (the hard way 
). If my next truck comes with a reel and some line I'll be good to go!
Congrats on your new toy!
