I'm baaaaack!!
So, maybe you remember this truck from about a year ago?
 That was turned to this a day later?  Well, I let the insurance company total that truck, and I bought a 68 Cougar. It's awesome. In the last year it's gone from this:  to this: (I had to reuse the paint scheme for "my car")  Well, just a few hours ago, I got this!!  So, needless to say, I'm gonna have reason to be around again! I'm not doing anything crazy to this one, just black epoxy primer and maybe disc brakes, but mostly just a good freshening up. Then I'm going to try to sell it in the fall. I just had to have another truck!! I'm so excited to be back on the Chev truck forums!

Re: I'm baaaaack!!
Thanks, guys! I'm having to re-familiarize myself with the Chevrolet stuff. I'm super-deep in with the Fords now. I've got about $20k in the Cougar.
The insurance gave me $15k for the 66, since you asked. I'm saying it was purely a God-thing. I only had 7 in it plus my labor Anyway, I've got a zillion questions to ask about this truck, I'm just trying to take it one shot at a time!!

Re: I'm baaaaack!!
Hey Sean,
I am glad you are back! Your old truck was one of the best looking I have ever seen. Can't wait to see what you do to this one. TR

Re: I'm baaaaack!!
Welcome back I've wondered what happened to you as well.
Nice looking Couger.....those are one of the Fords that I like. We had a '67 XR7 when I was a kid. I'll be watching to see what you do with this GMC.....
