The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Do I really wanna do this?

Thank you, everybody for your great advice and thoughtful insights. I really value your support.

I've decided that I do want to buy and restore/rebuild a truck, but I'm going to take my time in getting one. When the time seems right, and when I find the right truck, I'll jump on it.

For the record, my ideal truck to purchase as I know it is:

1964-1966
6-cylinder three on the tree
Running well
Minimal rust but not perfect
Gas tank location doesn't matter

I would probably put power steering and power disk brakes on it. I would move the gas tank to the frame if it's not already there. I'd smooth out the body and get a nice paint job and get it running really well. I'd also do my best to restore the interior.

The time will come sometime! I know a lot more about these trucks than I used to, so when the right one comes along, I'll be ready to jump in.

Thanks again for everything! I'll post again when I've got a truck to work on.

Steve.
