Why Do I Keep Doing This to Myself?

[jgrote]

Let me first start my introducing myself. I am a very typical middle aged white guy, going through a pretty serious mid life crisis. A couple of years ago, I cashed out a little bit of my retirement and bought a 66 Mustang. I wanted something that would serve as a good driver while continuing to improve it. After a couple of months of owning it, I reminded myself why I've always been a Chevy guy. It was fun, but I felt bad modding it since it was so original. (It was a numbers matching, no rust, all stock car.)

So that's kinda how I got here. I've had several old cars, (most of them were kinda crappy) and most of them were Chevys. And lately, I've really needed a truck many times. I'm tired of borrowing one, so it's time to build one. I'm fully planning on this thing to be totally custom. Nothing is sacred. But I also will need to do several safety upgrades. That is 1 requirement of my wife. I may be the first to have 3 point seat belts in all 3 seats.

I've struck a deal, and now I just have to go and get it. It's 4 hours SW of me. I hope to go out there this Sunday. Now for a couple of pics! When's the last time you saw a bed floor this solid?
