Hey guys thought it was about time I introduced myself. I've been drooling over lots of your trucks as I read through the different forum topics and it's getting me super excited to start working on mine! I'm a square body junkie and always have been. My truck was new from the factory to my Grandpa, was then my Dad's and is the truck I grew up in. My sister blew the motor in it when I was 14 so I saved and bought a rebuild for it when I was 16 and my neighbor helped me put it in the truck...okay he did most of the work while I helped where I could and watched. 
It sat parked for 2 years while I was out of country in the early 2000's, when I got home I put a rebuild kit through the carb and it fired right up, had to replace the doors too since the hinges were gone and the doors rusted. With the green doors it's a nice two tone! 
Drove it for a few more years then needed something a little more economical while going through college so it sat again. Has been used on and off for years but is in bad need of some love. Seems every time I get some cash something else breaks that is more pressing. This summer I'm getting him back on the road though. Thanks for all your shared experiences and advice, I feel more prepared with this forum as my reference library/guide!
