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.....
