Loving the center caps !!

And Unionville is down in Bedford County, near Shelbyville. We're also not too far from Manchester.

Cubber!! I drove by the 67-72 don't know if its a gmc or chevy but I believe its a c10 it's been sitting for years!! but the body looks super straight with minimal damage, I think I may have found my next build lol I want to see if I can talk to the owners see if they'll sell it maybe.

That's awesome!! I need to see some pics!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 
Yeah, I'll see about maybe going to talk to them this weekend and try to get a few pictures the body of it looks good, not sure of interior but yet again who cares it'd be redone anyway lol I've always seen it literally for years there and I always had an idea that'd be a sweet truck to own and fix it, so if they will sell it might join your club!!

cubber 03-09-2013 01:07 AM

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 
That's cool! Did you say a while back it was a stepside? I think I remember you saying something aout a truck a while back.

77ChevySharkBite 03-09-2013 01:11 AM

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 
there's no telling I have a horrible memory have a hard enough time remembering what I did yesterday haha, but its a fleet side though after seeing you build and some step sides, I think I want a step side haha, so if it's a swb fleetside yeah it'll be converted to a swb step side. Yeah I'll hopefully have something to report to you sometime this weekend!

Alright, fellas....started out looking at a lincoln, and ended up with a Ford Ranger, lol. It's a 94 with 187k miles, 4 cyl 5 speed. A little banged up, needs a tune up, but runs really good, good heat, ac and radio, and was a REALLY good deal!! Should get 25+ mpg, maybe more after some TLC!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 
Not bad...Glad you got yourself some MPG

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 
Took the stepside to O'reilly today to get some brake fluid for the ranger. Wife's first ride more than around our ittle road. We had a blast! All the guys at the parts store came out to see my truck, since I bought a lot of my odds and ends there. Boy, I love driving that truck, wife is scared of the speed, lol.
