First Bumpside
I've owned a couple slicks, dents, and a bullnose, but I've finally rounded out my experience with my first bump! My 1967 F250 camper special just got delivered today to SC from Colorado. It has a 352, np435, and 4.10's in the back. From the paper work I've looked through and from the looks of the truck it seems to have 70k original miles too.
The engine runs great and aside from the surface rust it's pretty solid. The plans are to go through steering, brakes, electrical - making sure it's all up to par. The only "big" issue with it currently is the clutch. It's way out of adjustment and the fork is really loose. Despite all the old trucks I've had I've never yet had to do any clutch work so this should be a good learning experience
Anyway I look forward to making good use of all the info on here
