Just bought me a 55 shortbed in Nashville and it will be shipped shortly to me.
Looking forward to having a vehicle where you can see how everything works.
Plan to keep it in the original condition and just maintain it so it runs well.
Just found this forum and it seems full of knowledge so I feel confident that any issue will be easy to fix.
See You

Welcome to the site. Feel free to ignore what John wrote. There are a lot of folks here with valuable practical advice far above what I can dish out on the few subjects that I have dealt with. My most valuable advice is of the "don't do this" variety. But I am in Sweden, and have yet to meet a fellow 'bolter in person. Send pictures!

I was able to open the link in your first post and find 3 pics of your truck. Nice looking pickup. It does open kind of funky though.
Someone else will have to advise you on the picture posting but we thousands here who can help you on your pickup!
