Hello all !!! Newbie from Wa

Post by 1971CSProject »

Hi everyone
A little about myself. Work at Home Depot , married, no kids, plumber by trade. A quick little story on how I got here.
Several weeks ago I was doing a little Plumbing side Job. The deal was I would do this Plumbing side job and they would sell me this pickup truck for $500 sight unseen. All I knew at the time was, it was fixing an outside spicket. In a nutshell I did the side job and purchase the truck. It's a 1971 f250 camper special.
I was pretty excited I've always wanted a truck. It needs a lot of work but overall it runs lol.
I hope to join in and get as much information as possible and also share some. Thanks for reading
