Howdy. I hate first posts. As my username suggests, I used to be an auto tech. (Ford certified, Nissan certified, and SAAB certified) Now I own a bicycle shop. I started out looking for a 1974 Ford F100 to use for picking up building materials, hauling trash, and such. The reason is simple - that's what my Dad had (he died in '74). My search showed me that those aren't cheap. Did I mention I own a bike shop? The best way to make a million dollars owning a bike shop is to start with 2 million. "Budget" is my middle name right now. So when a customer/friend told me that he got a job in the Quad Cities and was selling his truck, I jumped at it. I must admit that it was NOT the truck I wanted. After working on these damn things for years, I had serious reservations. However....it was $600, and I needed a truck. Since then, it has grown on me. Enough so that I've decided to play with it a bit.

I have no grand plan, no budget, and no idea where this will end up. On the off chance that it ends up being cool, I thought I'd keep a record of the build/resurrection/clusterfrak.
