I've always enjoyed getting dirty under the hood, not working on the new stuff but the old, things that you could watch go up and down without needing a PC. Things that used ½, 9/16/ ¾, not 12mm, 11mm, and so forth. I grew up working in a shop, fixing cars (I had a 68 IH pickup, 76 Malibu Classic, and a 73 MG convertible growing up. I then went off to the Army for 10 years and then spent another 10 raising a family in Oklahoma and getting to a point where I can have a hobby like this. I have been looking over this site for months and you guys are something else. Some of the things you have done with these trucks is amazing. So sit back and take a look at my journey, I hope it's worthy of this site, if not at least I'll have a good time getting there!!

Cool story, and even cooler truck, welcome to the addiction !

Oooh great,, another guy from Oklohoma

Just messing with you.

Welcome from West Tn.
Nice rig you got, and your rust problem is about normal.
My opinion, I would go with the 700r.

Welome from North Georgia to your new (second) family. The problem I have is staying off this site long enough to get some work done.

BTW nice ride, like the rest of us it has issues, but your in good hands here.

Thanks again for the welcome and I look forward to making it to some of the meets in OK. Alan, your build is something else and I'm learning, and picking up a lot.

Here are a few more pictures.
