Hey Blue. Welcome to the board.

I see you are from Lincolnton. Being as you are just up the road from me, maybe we can talk trucks in person sometime.

It sure is good to have someone on the boards close by. I was beginning to wonder if any of my neighbors knew how to use a computer.

I know we all have trucks. Having a truck around here is just a natural thing to do.

Howdy neigbor. Believe it or not I stumbled on to your website and found this link through your site. Just never thought of emailing you. I am very limited as to how muich I can do to my old truck because of funds. A little bit at a time. Hope to have a really nice truck some day.

I'm kinda proud. She's been well taken care of. I bought her in 95 with 40,000 miles and now am up to about 110,000. no body rust that I know of. Just put new crate engine in. runs a lot better thn that old 305. But it did good for 22 uears.

Me neither, just went that low so the picture would look good... If I were to drop my truck, I wouldn't go any lower than having the fender wells an inch above the tires...
