WooHoo!Got me one o` them pikture takers

[special-K]

I finally went to Target with good advise and bought a new camera.I haven`t had two dimes to rub together for a long time(long story).So,I get a few bucks and go to buy and the cashier asks if I want to save 10% by applying for a store card.Heck yeah,I figure I`m just applying and will prolly be turned down since that`s one thing that`s had me screwed up,my wife`s charging up some cards on me behind my back and I have them froze to work out repayment.Anyway,the story is,after all that waiting,I walked out w/o handing over a dime.I didn`t need two dimes to rub together all along.Of course,they prolly weren`t offering it back in winter when I needed it most.
This was supposed to be about showing my first shots...
Here`s one of my GMC with the aluminum rims:

Here`s a couple of my Highlander with the lift and tires:


And,here`s my`71 wrecker I got in a swap for some siding and trim work.The guy wanted stupid money for it($4,000).I have $1,000 in materials and some time.He lives a few hundred feet up my road.So,it was real easy tohop over there and chip away at the work when I had some time:

Wow! Those are some neet red X's! I'll try again when I get home. Glad you got the picture takin thingy, now we can see what you got goin on up there.

can we say Cooter Davenport. Awsome rig

[Shyguy]

Sure some good looking vehicles you have there. I like the scenery in the background. I live out here in the flatlands of Southeast Missouri and miss the hills and mountains.

I would really like to have a wrecker, but so far I have not been able to find one around here. My collection only consits of the ole C-10 farm truck.

Thank you for sharing the pictures with us.

Special-K...nice collection!

[Yukon Jack]

Great pics!

[Ron 586]

Nice pictures. I understand the why but hope for another way out about the for sale signs on the GMC and the Highlander. Great deal on the wrecker. The only way I could ever get a deal was to work something out. Great about the store card . I have a Lowes card in my pocket that was used 1 time. I went in to buy my Cub Cadet mower with cash in my pocket. The clerk asked if I had a Lowes card and that I could save $200 by applying for one. Just took a few miniutes and saved me some money. Guess I need to go shopping more often. Just keep digging buddy and you'll be back on top in no time.

Nice to hear you can finally capture all those precious moments.
Sure wish I had the collection.

I like your Truck Corral

[Shane]

da-yum brother ... you got a yard full!

[jkaylor68gmc]

Cool, welcome to the awesome world of picture taking. What camera did you get?

[jkaylor68gmc]

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me how to correct something if you need help.

[RACINJASON22]

What kind of camera did you decide on cause it sure does take nice pic's!!

Well I guess it could be because you have such good subjects to take pic's of. J/K

The pic's and the trucks are awesome, Tim.

Now we expect to se pic's on a regular basis

yep nice collection there tim. i got to see all his trucks first hand a few months back, sure wish i had extra money that blue and white beauty would have a new home.... take care tim

[BLAZERMAN]

Those are some nice rigs you got there, I espicialy like the Highlander, tough looking truck right down to the classic white spokes.

[msgross]

Nice trucks Tim...Carlisle is getting closer. Are you gonna bring any to sell there? I had to buy another Camera since my Sony finally gave up the fight two weeks ago. I have a Canon now and love it....

[jaros44sr]

Nice Pics. Ought to call the wrecker 'Tow mater. Just what every man needs an ol tow truck to bring home more ol trucks. Hope your luck changes for ya. J.

[ratrod67]

I sure like that highlander!!

[special-K]

Tow-mater...not bad.It`s the right color.I got a Canon A560.Yeah,Mike,I need to grab a vendor spot for the truck show.Let`s talk.I figure at least 3 if it`s available together.VT(and all),the wrecker is solid.It`s a 1/2t body-swap from awhile back.It has new inner fenders and core support.No rust in the bed at all.The chrome Budds are from my old`70 CustomCamper that I sold this guy a few years ago.I had chromed the SR west coasts but they`re gone.He trashed the ones that were on this because he doesn`t like big mirrors.Then,he boogered up the driver`s door holding it open backing up.Makes you wonder why you need good mirrors one a truck intended to spend alot of time backing up,ya think?He said it had a 327,it`s a 350.I wanted to put the 327 in my`67 shortbed project.I have a line on a fresh-built 454 from a guy that wants the CheyenneSuper project in the background(mostly red oxide).He need to sell a`62 Starfire to get the truck.I think I`ll offer a trade for the 454.This all happened yesterday.Thanks for the compliments and the best wishes.It means alot.I`m just trying to hang onto what I can,mainly the house.I started this deal on the wrecker before the poo hit the fan or I would have passed.But,I have a shop up the road about 20mi.I need a way to transport back and forth.Especially without my girly.

[woodridge]

Okay, I'm home now and the red X's are gone and nice pics are there. Digi's are so cool, looks like you got a good one.

[eedgell]

Highlander, Highlander, Highlander!!!!! Good thing its like 3000 miles from me because I'd own it right through the divorce!!!!!!

[72 CustomCamper]

Hey Tim, when you come down for the get together at the end of the month, you can leave the wrecker and those Hurricane wheels here...


Chuck

[GREASEMONKEY72]

i love all the trucks youve got there but i mostly LOVE the wrecker and wish i had one, hate to hear about all your troubles and i hope you make it through all of them in the best way possible

[special-K]

Sure thing,Chuck.Did you want a 454 or just leave as is?I`ll try to get the wheels all perfect for you,too.
I want to check,but I`m guessin` 5:13s in the rear.I really like that thing.I wish the door was better.It`s one of those change it and have a different color(don`t think I can match it)or live with some dents on an otherwise straight truck.I wish the d/a had just left the mirrors on.I have a set I got from Teeitup last year knowing this truck was coming my way.
In my perfect world,I`d have a 67/72 wrecker,frame-mount camper,and dump truck.Of course,at leat one of each of the little bretheren.I really want a C/50 or 60 rollback to haul the others.Then,there`d be the semi car carrier so I could bring 5 or so with me when I travel.
