yea I am. The wife wanted her freedom so she left and took half of the income, and left me with a few bills that need to be paid off.

Really sorry to hear your parting with the truck. All the work and time, and it turned out so good.

Call me or drop by sometime.

Dave

Re: 1968

I'm sorry to hear that George, It's a nice truck, don't let financial pressure force you to take a lowball offer for it, you can get out of it what you have in it with no problem.

Re: 1968

got a few offers on my truck, but they low balled me. so it still is here with me. Had to re-glue the weather stripping around the doors. adjusted the steering and got the trucks first oil change at 800 miles. I have 1265 miles on the truck.

That picture and post were a long time ago. I repainted them black so no one has to take the orange paint from me.
