Hopefully to have it running this weekend.

Got her home and cleaned up.

This truck is just plain awesome. PLEASE don't change the paint colors! Can't wait to see it brought back to life!!!

Not sure if "rig" stands for pick em up truck or not, but here is my 67. 289,C4, chrome package and blinkers in the hood. Gramma bought her new in '67 and I have had her since '86.
Getting ready to pull her down for paint and updates soon.

You know, it would look amazing, kept as is, with a clear coat. However, it's also screaming to be restored to original condition. I LOVE the blue/ white. Whatever you do, just keep that color combo!

ZachM, both trucks look great! My cousin had the identical truck on the left, new in 1986 with the BFGs and what a truck it was. That Red and silver always just "popped" when shined up. Thanks for sharing.
