Hello from Indiana!

[bowtieguy61]

hi, im new to the board. i live in indiana up in the corner by chicago. i have a 61 step and a 63 fleet. i plan on restoring the 61 this summer with the fleet bed. then providing i get that done(wishfull thinking) next summer ill take the 63 and and make it a 4wd with the matching D60 and 14 bolt ive had hanging around here for a couple years. my father did body work for 30 years and luckily he retires in march, so i get a free ride on the paint. i was a machinist by trade for 5 years and still have most of my equipment in my basement. (lathe, mill) . i have already received a wealth of information from you guys, and plan on asking many more questions. if any of you need advice on machine work or need something made or modified,(not motor machining, thats a whole different world) feel free to ask. will be happy to help for free other than material cost and shipping.
