New from TX
Hello guys, Im in the middle of buying my first classic truck. 69 swb from another member here... i dont know his user name but my wife found the ad a few weeks ago and decided to buy the truck for me for a wedding gift ( i know i got lucky) so here he is "Sheldon the Chevy"
and another in pretty good shape; has some rust in the floor of the cab but already has the replacement pans and door sills/ rockers. just have to find a shop to get them welded up. im sure in a couple weeks when i finally get it home i will be asking a million questions, so thanks in advance! i have already got a ton of ideas here. Jeremy

Re: New from TX
I am in clear lake, and actually will be in tomball tomorrow for a crossfit competition! i am also lucky enough to have an uncle that owns a paint and body shop in coleman. so i will just be toying with the truck here in houston until christmas then taking it to him for color. so until then i hope to order a ton of parts, clean it up and get the interior the way i want it then learn a little something from him in the paint and body department.
i have been looking for some local classic clubs to look into maybe you guys can help with that?
