welcome aboard!! if you get board hanging around here, slip into the sask/man chapter... we'd be glad to have ya!! say, start a gallery and let us know what you're riding!!

 

thanks sherm I think I'll do that,the only pictures I have at the moment are the bad ones from kijiji where I found the truck.original cap,floor mats and wheels with centers.71000 kms 302 C4 9".pw steering manual breaks.my brother in law and I went to get it and it had one broken backing plate,so we blocked the rears off and did the ten pump stop for about 70kms to get it home.pretty bad if we had of been caught,2 licenced mechanics driving around in a truck like that.but I have since added the headers and flowmasters,235/60/15 in front on the stock wagon wheels and 295/50/15 on 8" spokes on the back.and alot of cleaning and a good tune up.found 2 sets of side chrome for $20 and a mint green dash to replace my rotten one for $50 so its on its way.spent some time rebushing the front end and doing all the breaks.I could go on all day I spose about the old thing.I actually just left work at lunch to finish up my dash change so I could do a couple other things tonight after work and drive it tomorrow.

 

sounds like a decent project... i've got an '83 money pit that i'm trying to sell... selling both my trucks actually. want to get an '08 s'crew 4x4. i'm sick of spinning in the winter...

what do you do for a living?? i'm a carpenter, interior finishing and cabinet making/install primarily...
