Happy Birthday to me!
Yesterday was my 48th B-day. I came home from work and the family handed me a wrapped box for my gift. I opened it and inside was a bill of sale and the title for a '68 swb stepside project truck in the area I have had my eye on for the last year! Needless to say I was floored. I grabbed my tow chain and within the hour had it in my driveway. Now I just need time to work on it. Dreams do come true for good little 67-72 truck boys!!!!

Re: Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday. My wife would never buy me another money pit, as she calls them. She would insist that I finish something first.
What are your plans for it? Tom

Re: Happy Birthday to me!
I have to finish my 67 before starting on this one. My wife complains too about me looking at other trucks when I have one in pieces working on it. I guess maybe she understands now how it can be an obsession.
