New Guy from Oklahoma
« on: February 04, 2012, 08:54:41 pm »
Finally decided to make a post introducing myself. I have an 85 2WD Pickup and just obtained (for free) an 80 4WD.

I will be asking lots of questions about the 80...The 85 is done, except for paint.

     Welcome from Ca.    Free is good, how did that happen ?

Long story...sort of! I recently remarried, after being alone for 16 years...My new wife's Family were Farmers/Ranchers here in NW OK.

Karen, my wife, knows i'm a car guy, so she took me out to her Family's home farm to see the old stuff just laying around!

Two 47-54 Chevy trucks (I'm working on getting them...somehow!), two 73-87 4WD pickups, one 60s/70s 4WD Pickup and one 60s/70s 2WD Pickup. Also a 1970 Chevy Impala Custom 2DR Hardtop.

I'm going to combine the 4WD and the other 73-87 4WD into one usable truck...The truck I got had an electrical fire...The other truck blew an engine.

Checking the VIN on the truck I got, I found it was an 80 built in Flint, MI. The other truck is earlier than 1980...haven't checked the VIN yet.

     On the 73 - 80 trucks the 6th position (number) is the year it was made, should make it easier to identify what year it is.

Welcome from Alaska.  Visiting a working farm is like treasure hunting.  No telling what you'll find on the "south 40".
