joehalford01 · 07-07-2007, 02:02 AM

looks good dude.

raiden7800 · 07-07-2007, 03:20 AM

Hey Sal, that truck is just friggin awesome, if six4flat doesnt get those white walls, I have second dibs!

63 & 64 Bowties · 07-07-2007, 03:28 AM

that grille looks like it's brand new.

Bishops Trucks · 07-07-2007, 05:11 AM

I would'nt call it cheap, shopping around for the best bargain is the way to do it. Looks good what you've done so far.

nimrocker · 07-07-2007, 10:41 PM

very nice sal, love the wheels. 5 or 6 lug? How much?

**slepysal** · 07-08-2007, 09:33 PM

Thanks guys Frecho71 I paid 1000.00 for the truck, and have put in about 1800.00 including $ 627.00 to paint it and $300.00 for the radiator. Those two were my biggest expenses.
63 64 bowties thanks , but the grill has a small tweek and the chrome is more daily driver then show, but for $50.00 I can live with it.
Bishiops trucks ,joehalford 01,and raiden7800, thanks I appreciate the kind words
Nimrocker they are 6 lugs I got them for $50.00 for all four wheels, and $20.00 for the bullets .

**slepysal** · 07-09-2007, 11:19 AM

I plan on getting some pinstriping done this week. I thought about what Bishops Trucks said, maybe I should change my projects name ? Any suggestions?

jchav62 · 07-09-2007, 05:24 PM

Looks great, Sal! Congrats. I can't believe those prices on the grille and wheels...I guess I need to learn how to bargain shop too! As for the name, I would keep it, when I saw El Cheepo in the subject line, I knew it was you...Another suggestion, keep you wide whites and steelies in storage, that way you always have another option and you can swap out whenever you want... Later!

fercho71 · 07-10-2007, 12:52 AM

keep the name sal, that its your trade mark, besides "el chepo" sounds very
