Great start with the projects, be sure to keep us posted! You can still do alot without a high school diploma, I waited until I was 25 to get my GED, and am in a trade where I will break 100k next year. It's all about how you apply what you have!

ok, couple new updates. i just aquired some wonderfull indoor heated garage space, for a low price of brush hoggin 6 acres once a month. and its fully stocked with snap on tools at my disposal. so hopefully tomm afternoon the truck will be headin about 2 miles down the road to its new location. i aquired a fuel tank today. its off an old chev semi, like a early 80s C70, its 50gallons but it was free and fits between the frame so im happy. other major change is ive completly switched directions on the 63 build... it in the process of finding a 1/2 or 3/4 ton 4x4 frame and running gear to drop the body onto. if its a half ton ill use my extra 350 for motivation but if i can find a 3/4 ive got a spare 12valve cummins sitting in the garage... how nice would that be to roll through sonic and people just stare and think to themselves "somethin isnt right there...." im just rolling around ideas, i know the diesel would be a huge ordeal to make work but my cousin that im living with is a diesel mechanic so ive got knowledge. most likely wont go with it but it sure is something id really like to do but because of my budget ill prolly just stick with an sbc. im thinking around 4 inches of lift and 35's. then i can sink the money for air ride into the 65 and ill have a lowered one and a lifted one.
