New Project

[alchevy]

My wife learned how to drive a standard in a 1967 Chevy Pickup that her grandfather had. He gave it to one of his sons that had it for several years, then it went to his other son. Well my wife has been trying to get the truck since then. A little over a week ago, at her grandfather's 85th birthday party, her uncle gave us the truck. It has been sitting for a year. We went to see it and sprayed the carb with some cleaner, jumped it off with my '07 Silverado, put some gas in the tank, checked the oil, and it cranked!
Now we just have to get a good tire because one is flat and will not air up. Found a spare in the bed, put air in it, but it has a leak. Need to add some brake fluid and see if we have brakes. She wants to drive it home.
The interior is rough. We plan on getting it running good and driving it some as we work on it.
