What did it look like to start with, cuz it looks pretty good now!

*edin355* · 09-24-2005, 07:56 AM

It was a fadded out red very common with all trim on it. I have just finished rewiring it this week.Because of my disability it has taken a long time but worth every minute of it. I want to say thanks to my wife for all of her understanding and support

It is always nice to have an understanding wife when we are working on our trucks. You have done a beautiful job on yours. Looks great. Welcome to the board from Kentucky.

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 09-24-2005, 10:56 AM

NICE... good job.I likeum red. Welcome from NC. Just can't beat a understanding wife. Ever present I got for 4 years was something for the truck. No underware or socks.

86swb · 09-24-2005, 11:15 AM

No underware or socks is a "GOOD THING"

GMan69 · 09-24-2005, 11:28 AM

Thanks to all of you. A little over four years ago when I got the truck I was already had a bone disease and was told that I also had a life threatning disease and started some strong meds for 1 year.The meds alone was enough to drive anyone over the edge. But not knowing a thing about classic chevy trucks except for the fact that I loved them I slowly started putting all of my energy and thoughts into fixing the truck and tried to leave the sick part in someone elses hands.I met I great guy by the name of Rocky that was more than willing to share his vast knowledge of chevy trucks with me.Working on the truck whenever I had the energy along with many medical sessions I feel is the reason Im still here.Like I said earlier my wonderful very understanding wife made the topping on all of the great help I received the last years.It has been hard to socialize or talk but I am getting over that now. I put jet coated hooker headers in the truck with anew 350 crate motor,edlebrock airintake.msd with 6al box.rhino liner and torq thrust two wheels. Along the way I have accumulated some extra edlebrock intakes and 3 600cfm carbs plus several things I will be listing soon at some really good prices. Again I say thanks to you all. I have really enjoyed this site. Now maybe I will become a contributing person buy passing on some real good deals for those that are interested.

86swb · 09-24-2005, 06:00 PM

Well edin355, We pray that everthing works out fine for you and you return to good health. Glad you enjoy working on these trucks. There are a bunch of great folks on this site-gals and guys. That is what this site is all about. Helping and receiving help when we need it. This is the best site (IMO) around.
