Ok so here it goes. I am new to the board and have been watching and trying to learn as much as i can wince I have been coming here. So a little story behind how I got my truck and then I will post some pics as well as my friends truck that lives down the street from me. I think we might build 2 or 3 of these at the same time so it should be interesting to watch.
So I own a 72 longbed that I wanted to buy around 11 years ago from a neighbor a couple of streets over, I even went as far as to sell my car and made it to his house to buy it but then my GF at the time told me I shouldn't buy it so being the idiot I was I passed up on the deal. He was only asking like 2000 for it.
So after some moving around and getting a new GF, I was working on my 51 Chevy Styleline and my 69 Lincoln Continental. I ended up selling the 51 and was working on come of the stuff for the Lincoln when my old neighbor that I had not seen in over 10 years stopped by to talk to me while charging my battery and I had told him that I always wanted his 72 and that it sucks that he sold it. To my surprise he informed me that he still had the truck on hid other property and that if I was still interested in it that he would sell it to me for $500. So of course I ran to the bank and got the cash and bought it right then. Sight unseen..........
