Hey gang,
My name is Gabrielle but most call me Gabbie.
I've been addicted to VWs over the past 8 years and decided that it was time for my huge project bus to go...

That night I found this beauty on Facebook, a 75 c20 for $800, clean title and owners manual. Even has the window scraper from the dealership! It has a 350 automatic...stock everything. Runs fantastic, starts right up! Has an exhaust leak, and the brakes are BAD. I lived quite dangerously driving it home.

Upon inspecting it, my fiance and I found a cut driver side rear brake line that was capped off. Friday night we are going to change that line, and bleed the brakes. Also planning on an oil change.

It's a pretty solid truck. The rear tailight out isn't getting any power so that's the next project. Also, any recommendations on tires? The rears at 16.5" and I can't find them anywhere online. The fronts are nearly new. Wouldn't mind getting new wheels.

Sorry for the novel. I'm hoping to learn lots here!

Welcome from the Black Hills of South Dakota.

You will probably be better off getting rid of those 16.5 tires and wheels as there aren't many options for tires. I have them on my 80 and will be changing to 16's when I replace the tires.
