New here but jumping in with both feet

Hey guys and gals,
Im new here and thank all of you who have taken the time to answer some of my questions. A little about myself:

I am a Police Officer in Montana and lived here my whole life. I love the outdoors and restoring vehicles in my shop. I have done several and just recently got bitten by the 67-72 bug. I just finished a 1970 short box 4x4 with a 383 stroker. WOW. Anyway I worked at a body shop for about six years before I changed jobs. I love to tikner in the shop to take my mind off of work.

I was looknig for a short box 2wd with no luck! I ended up buying a virgin AZ big block AC truck. I Just cut the frame tonight and am in thr process of putting it back together. Needed a break! I bought conversion spindles and a five lug rearend. Anyway, Ill post pics soon.

ONCE AGAIN THANKS. THIS PLACE ROCKS

welcome from Texas. You are in the right place but this crowd is a bunch of picture junkies. Get some pictures up soon before they get restless.
