I paid for the '69 today, swamped cash for paperwork and drove it back to my sister's. It really does pull! Took many corners in second! The trip to my sister's went well, but some stuff did show up. Brakes pull to the left, steering seems to be a bit slack. Drove the truck around town and it develeloped a pretty serious tendency to stall. Wanted to die with the choke all the way in, after running driving it for a bit it stalled when engaging the clutch. Sputtered and spit a bit, pulling the choke out some helped but not much. After the spuutering it would kick right in with lots of power. Stop and pull away again and things would start all over again. I'd normally piddle with all this myself, but to get it ready for my 450 mile trip to my home, I'm going to get the the steering and brakes looked at, and the tomng and carb adjustments checked- the breather and pcv as well..

Even with all that, I'm pretty pleased- happy as a clam!

I'll take more and better photos tomorrow and get them up ASAP.
