I Wanna THANK This Board
For getting me off my butt and doing some of the stuff to my truck that I've been thinking about doing for YEARS but "haven't had the time" (which means didn't TAKE the time).
In the last few weeks, I put a new dash pad in which has looked HORRIBLE from the day I bought this truck almost 10 years ago. 4 new T/A's and 8" ralley wheels and CHEVY centerpieces. Was running GMC centerpieces - GAWD what a fo-pa! HEI distributor, plugs and wires - works GREAT. Hadn't touched the points or plugs in that time so there was darned little of them left, though the truck still ran fine! New AM radio speaker. WOW - tunes! Well, AM tunes anyway - kinda nostalgic. New defrost hoses and glove box. Thanks to Athey's for ALL this stuff 'cept the HEI from Hotrod Heaven and the wheels and tires. Plus I tidy'd up all the wires under the dash, got some original wiper arms with stainless ANCO blade holders to replace the cheezy aftermarket black plastic ones. Got my leaky steering box fixed and all that's left for now is to put in the air bags in the rear to get that rear down. Just some details that have been bugging me for awhile. YOU GUYZ and YOUR TRUCKS motivated me to take care of my ol' hoss shorty and to have a little pride fercryinoutloud. MAN there are some nice trucks on display here and y'all have every reason to be very proud. THANKS for getting me off my butt and out into my truck! And if yer ever in Northern Arizona.... Holler. I'll buy the first frosty one. H.
