Hi, my name is Ken, and I have a problem...

It's all of y'alls fault. I have been clean and Ebay free for a long time now. Someone waved my 77 Cheyenne under my nose, and my old habit is back. It's hard to stay Ebay free when you guys are around, so I'll pass this on...

Sweet 73 Cheyenne

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'd love to have that truck! However, I'm too poor to have the problem you have. Next 73-87 I buy will definitely be one like this!

Ooooh, Oooh, I know, I know, pick me, pick me!:p

Yes, with a little TLC, and a few $$, you could be walking the walk, instead of talking the talk.... ok, actually a few more $$$$$$$$$

Chris, wonder what the Blazer would look like bagged and on 20's...

Anyone care to photochop it for me?

I think it would look cool, especially with the woodgrain trim!!

Just thumb through some of N2TRUX pics for a decent side shot of his blazer & photo shop the right color . . .....

Even though the front clip is different, it would still sit just as good!

There is no motivation necessary. I am storing up money as I can. The projects are suffering from it (along with the Jamaica trip ) but I already want it. Heck, I am keeping a lookout for a LWB 3/4T truck for ya. Found a dually flatbed, but it needed a little door work, so I didn't stop.

This is the only thing saving me Atwater, CA

Cool, y'all go check it out. If it's really as nice as it looks (excluding the snap on bed cover) then Scot or Chris will buy it. See guys, I helped y'all out.

You don't even have to thank me. I just do these kind of things for free since your my friends...

SUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRREEEE... I bet what will happen is Ken will secretly fly out there buy it and then put it in a shop, hide if from everyone and then spring it on us. What do you think Scot?

Hhmmm . . .... I'm getting the eerie feeling of deja'vu.

No wait . . ... I didn't look @ that one. It would seem my friends only buy the ones I wan't, but can't afford. I could prob afford that one, so there shouldn't be too much sneaking around.... behind my back.... keeping me in the dark.... no concern for my feeling . . .....

sniffle . . ...

Yeah, right! Can't afford! If I had your money, I would burn all of mine. Me and Chris are going snipe hunting in your back yard one night. I bet you have jars full of money buried everywhere out there....

Only 2 more days....

Has anyone gone & looked @ it yet?? Pictures some times hide alot of the bad bodywork on vehicles (unless they're close ups like what Ken took of his).
