Re: Calling All Idaho Truck Fans
My parents just moved to Meridian to a house on one of the golf courses. I will going to visit in a couple of months. Sounds like a nice place. My dad has been telling me about a tractor junk yard there that is pretty cool.

Hey there 71chevylongbed, I have a bed and frame all ready for you, listed on ebay now, I won't put the link, I haven't bought my vendors fee yet, I am going to though after the truck sells, take a look you'll find it in the vintage parts cars. Nice to see so many around the valley.

Re: Calling All Idaho Truck Fans
Caldwell, here. Practically in your back yard. I'm working on a '71 Cheyenne LWB with a 400BB. PM me sometime if you wish. I'm not a mechanical wonder by any means and sometimes it's good to confer (or commiserate) with someone close by.
