I looked everywhere for the Post New Topic "button".
I found it over there in the corner with the "sky hooks"!
Anyway, I recently bought a 67 SWB Chevy Pickup, which has a 350 w/350 Turbo. The drive train seems to be very good, lots of power.
Although the body and interior need paint etc., they are both in pretty decent shape. Very little rust in the body at all.
I bought the truck on a whim, as a suggestion from a very good friend of mine, who is a professional mechanic.
To let you know in advance, I know absolutely nothing about automobiles, which brings me here.
Anyway, when I first tried to drive the truck it had a dead battery, which I replaced, and the power steering pump is blowing fluid faster than I can put it in. I've driven it all of 5 miles so far.
Plus, even with PS fluid, it drives like it's dancing on ice even on dry pavement.
So, My mechanic friend has it at his shop until he can diagnose and fix the steering problems.
I'm very antsy to get this truck on the road and drive it.
Being an absolute novice at truck restoration, I thought this forum might be a really good place to learn. I've had on heckuva time trying to find information about a 67 Chevy Pickup in the Search Engines.
So, my name is Davey, I've got a truck, and as soon as my mechanic gets it back to me, I'll take some pictures and post them, if that is allowed here (if not I'll set up my own web site), and add pics as I hopefully progress with this project. I know im gonna need a lot of help!
Now, I can scout around a bit in some of the other sections in here and see what's going on.
