Re: Finally able to post pics of my 71 SWB

Now my next hurdle is the wife. She hates the truck and complains all the time. She wants a newer model. Even has asked me to list the truck to sell or trade. Had a guy make a random offer of 15k for the truck and she wanted me to take it. Heck, I've got almost double that in it. lol

Re: Finally able to post pics of my 71 SWB

Your truck is gorgeous and looking at it I know you have put a lot of sweat and money into it and it would bea shame to let someone else enjoy the truck after you have done all the hard work.
