Re: My new project.
Thanks. For now I just plan on lowering it. Once I have time to start on it I'll fix the few rust spots and thats it. The best part...It was free.

Yes. It was my great grandfathers, then he passed away, then my aunt had it and decided to give it to me.

Re: My new project.
Yeah I could really stand to get one like that. That truck looks brand new!
I've been desperately searching on craigslist for a 1983 under truck (to avoid emissions laws) since november of last year and all thats turned up are trucks that need major repairs to the body and interior. I'm getting rather tired of walking though. Where are these awesome trucks hiding ? Last edited by Pyrotechnic; 03-23-2007 at 12:30 AM. |
