I got my first truck!
Thanks a million to Chad and Wayne who were a blessing to say the least. I sent Wayne a PM to check out the truck and just a few hours later he'd already checked it out!
Thanks to his expertise I was able to make an educated decision and purchased the truck. See Item number: 130858037696 on eBay. I sent the deposit over night and in a few weeks I'm going to take my three teenage sons over spring break and roadtrip it out there with a trailer. I got exactly what I wanted, a turnkey driver with fuel injection, overdrive transmission, a/c, cruise and something where I can use the bed and not feel bad about a scratch. Thanks again so much for being willing to help out, this would not have been possible without the help of this board and a couple of good guys. I'm VERY excited and looking forward to lots of good times and information to come! Regards, Dave |

Re: I got my first truck!
Hey JWALL, I own a small business on 71st and will be driving the truck quite a bit this summer. I'll bet we cross paths for sure, keep in touch and let me know when the cruise night is.

Re: I got my first truck!
That's the same route I chose Dave, "Turn-key". Great buy. Have fun with it. Nothing like some QT with your boys on a road trip.

Re: I got my first truck!
Fantastic looking truck. My son and I built a truck together (whole family really) and we enjoy the shows! Might see you at Good guys Nashville in May? Hope you enjoy the stew out of it!

Re: I got my first truck!
Welcome to the board Dave! Great looking truck! You have the same engine setup my son has in his 86. Very reliable power plant.
Since everyone likes pictures....... |

Re: I got my first truck!
Dave -- this is the first time I have seen it. It looks great my friend. Congrats, and let me know if you need help with anything. If you're interested in a tailgate band for the back, I have one you can take with you when you come to get the truck. It's good and straight but it will need to be restored. Black inserts re-painted, polished up, new woodgrain and letters. It looks great like it is, .. just saying if you want a tailgate band for it you can have this one.

Re: I got my first truck!
Just getting around to posting, but I met Dave and his sons last week (I think it was?) Very nice guy.. It was raining and kinda cold so I didn't get to see much of the truck. It's really a nice one guys. He is going to add a tailgate band to the back, and lower it a bit, possibly 20's.
He is tossing around the idea of different wheels, how far to lower it, etc. What do you guys think about Eagle 225's ? If it were me, I'd do the new Spirit of Boyd wheel. I think a grey faced wheel would be nice on this one. .. just my .02 http://hotrodsbyboyd.com/tag/spirit-of-boyd/ I'm trying to talk him down to the ground a little more  He said this is too low. Help me out fellas.

Re: I got my first truck!
Thats crazy. Making it lower and those wheels makes it look like a different truck. I like it.
