Hello all. New here and new to the square body world. I'm located in North Texas, Arlington to be specific. I've been around cars and trucks my whole life and am no stranger to turning some wrenches. I bought my first car for $500 and spent many of hours getting it road worthy before I got my license. Still have my first car and later bought another truck.
My square body is a 1979 Cheyenne that's been handed down through the family. It was originally my grandfather's, bought brand new. He didn't drive much in his older age due to health issues. It sat off and on for a while. Once he passed on my dad inherited the truck and got it all running and driving well again. After he passed away the truck sat for a little bit longer again. I inherited the truck from him, so it's now been through three generations in the family. I went to get it and hauled it back home. Now it's sitting here, waiting to get back to it's prime. After realizing this whole world is new to me, I figured I should find somewhere that has a wealth of information and wisdom I could draw from - which lead me here.
The truck definitely needs some work to get it back to where it needs to be. The truck means a lot to me so the work and money is not an issue. I basically grew up in this truck and want to be able to enjoy it for many more years to come. I'll have more specific questions to follow as I get started rebuilding the truck.
