Just joined from So.Utah

Hello

I'm new to this forum. I heard about it from Trifive.com. I just finished a 6 year project on my 55 BelAir. I've had this old truck for about 10 years. I think it's a 49. It's a solid cab but it's got a lot of panel straightening to do. Any way I'll post the build in another thread.This looks like a nice place to hang out. I just started my truck build and need a bunch of info. I'll do some searching and ask if I don't find it.

Oh yeah, been to St. George many times. You live in a great part of the US. I love going to Zion, Bryce, and the countless other places you have around there.

Yes of coarse how are you. In fact it was your post on tri5 that brought me here. I always look for your post on tri5. How is you truck comming along? I'm into this project hot and heavy at the moment. If I'm not working on it I'm searching for parts. Hey, have you got a tilt column for yours yet?

Hey man thanks for the compliments. The truck is going okay I slowed down a little to collect parts for the engine, but I'm going to jump back on it soon. Yes I did get a tilt column for it I went with a flaming river after market column.
You can take at look at how it looks on my build page. Page 11.

Its nice to see you start a build page over here, this is the best site for classic trucks.
