Yeah, I know. Don't worry! I'm gonna subscribe. I'm not selling ANYTHING yet. As I said. I will be subscribing soon, not only because I want to sell stuff but because I LOVE THIS SITE!!!! But as I said I am also on a budget so hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll have the money to upgrade! BTW I just noticed they did edit my other post. Oh well. got good news though! v

[slick copper]

Look what I bought!!!!!!!




Yeah yeah I know. "I'm on a budget". But I found General Lee wheels for my truck!!! Been my dream, but never thought I'd actually come across them!
I was just lookin' around on Ebay at my wheel options, and there they were! So after litterally jumping up and down on the couch , my wife and I made a compromise: No swap meet next weekend, and I can get 'em. DONE! They're on their way! I can't wait!

Those things are awesome. You need to take your wife out for a romatic dinner and make sure she knows how special she is to you.

[treveiger]

Don't worry she knows. I tell her all the time. And show her, she got a new Toyota Prius out of the deal.

It's no big thing, guess they gotta do that stuff to protect themselves and others. Exactly, soon I hope.

Yes, she loves it!

[67chevy1series]

i like the first 2 vehicles i your sig

[treveiger]

My parents have a prius, weve had a lot of problems with it it seems like its my step mothers and she also has a 05 ford pickup with only around 50,000 miles and theyve had nothing but problems with that piece of junk so it could just be the owner not the cars and they live in the country also and those cars arent made for the gravel rodes and huge snow drifts. They have the 2nd newest generation prius if that makes sense?

You don't like the 'yota's? I work at the KY factory so I get a discount! Good cars/trucks, mostly. Had 2 Silverado's they were both junk (no offense to those who like 'em). I love my Tundra! Blows all the other new trucks away!

Yeah that's what she's got. Yep, prob not the best vehicles to have for that weather (especially the F O R D )

[67chevy1series]

wait this truck isnt a CST? the doors say custom and the spid says custom group so you have the custom cab and convention

I'm not sure. What do I have? what's convention? I thought CST meant custom. If not, what does CST stand for? Comon "67 Guru" let me know. Cause seriously it'd be good to know. My sig may be wrong.

CST means ''Custom Sport Truck" and custom comfort and convention is for the custom cab trucks, well they really mean what they are called is has the ''custom''comfort and the custom ''convention'' or other wise known as appereance so that means wite gets replaced with chrome, and better seats

Is it white? We noticed the white is turning yellow on the prius. Ya they use the Dmax for everything the requires any work whats so ever, the ford is just her truck for random crap which is ok to my father because he hated not having his truck when she needed it. Before that he had a 04 GMC Sierra 1500 and he bought it at 40,000 and when they sold it it had around 140,000 and they only had a few simple problems with it and we abused that thing the reason he went to a diesel was because hauling 10,000lb with the GMC started sucking because he did it a lot. It never broke down on him though.

So mine's a custom and not a CST. Right?

[slick copper]

Oh, BTW I got my rusty battery tray and batt cables pulled off Sunday. Guess I should post progress seing this is a build thread! Going to replace it with a stainless one! Also going to put in a side post battery and cables for a cleaner look. Any one else ever put in a stainless tray?

Custom it is! And will be! Since I've kinda changed my direction idea, I like the idea of it being a custom truck. Eventually it will be painted all one color "copperhead orange", with chrome accents and either bagged or a 2/4 inch drop. At least that's my vision.

[67chevy1series]

looks like three things and its a cst! it would be easy, except explaining the price on the buddy bcuckets, hehe a good price is 400 if the foam is good! but i haveseen for free and even 100 bucks so it all depends on the time place and person(s)

Nah, I kinda like a bench seat. It's good for sleepin' on when the wife kicks me outta the house for buying too many truck parts!!!!

Seriously though, thinking when I put the gas tank in the rear, I want to put a later model bench seat in that folds forward so I have access to all that space!
