Snooziums,
Listen to Willowbilly, he's been providing good advice all along while hotheads like me were providing rash counsel. The difference in purchasing a truck that's ready for the road vs. a project isn't much, and yet it takes many times that much money to get the project even close to the condition of the one that's already done.
Having a plan is good. What are you doing this summer? I assume grabbing a job. Maybe make it a goal to have, say, $1000, saved by the end of the summer towards buying a truck (even working a full-time job for three months at minimum wage will earn you close to $4,000).
Next step I would take would be to expand your truck horizons a bit. Your dream is to own a '67, but there are an awful lot of '68 - '72 trucks around in all sorts of conditions...and they're just as much fun to fool around with as the '67s. There's nothing to say that you can't own a '70 for three years, learn everything there is to know about these old monsters, and then go look for your dream truck.
Again: stay away from eBay. It ain't the real world. I'm buying a '68 on Sunday (assuming the guy didn't show me photos of his neighbor's ride to fool me
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_laughing01.gif)
) for not a whole lot of money, and it's a good honest old truck.
Anyway, don't take these things personally. We're just trying to help.
