I've always enjoyed getting dirty under the hood, not working on the new stuff but the old, things that you could watch go up and down without needing a PC. Things that used ½, 9/16/ ¾, not 12mm, 11mm, and so forth. I grew up working in a shop, fixing cars (I had a 68 IH pickup, 76 Malibu Classic, and a 73 MG convertible growing up. I then went off to the Army for 10 years and then spent another 10 raising a family in Oklahoma and getting to a point where I can have a hobby like this. I have been looking over this site for months and you guys are something else. Some of the things you have done with these trucks is amazing. So sit back and take a look at my journey, I hope it's worthy of this site, if not at least I'll have a good time getting there!!
Well it sounds like the history of wrench turning is there. I'm an 18 year old that had the fascination of old vehicles from childhood so one day I hope to say the same. And no, it's not a midlife crisis, it's an adiction far worse than any bag of 100% crack.

Old custom classic trucks have soul. Their dashboards aren't plastic, and they've survived both the best and worst of what the 20th century had to offer. For the owners of these trucks, it's often the same story. Through both good and bad times they persevered, until one day they could turn the key and roll up in a customized truck everyone with good taste would admire.Custom Classic Trucks
