Thanks to FOMOCO1 and the read first thread i finally figured out how to get pictures to an album. i still havent figured out the garage thing , but i did manage to get 9 shots of my truck so far. Its far from done but at least any one inclined, can see it as it looks today.(about 9 years worth of work. thank you ( JIMMY)

Hey Jim,
I really like your truck - it just looks good - sits perfect. What size tires are you running on it? I like bigger tires in the back like you have.
Your seat is nice as well - Is it original & recovered? I've got a 1950 but it's still in pieces - may come together this summer.

I THINK YOUR FIREWALL COVER IS SHABBY TO SAY THE LEAST AND INTERIOR IS EXTREMELY SHABBY , OTHER THAN THAT YOU HAVE A DECENT TRUCK,

Talk is cheap hot shot, lets see yours.

Jimmy, it looks like a really nice start to a smooth truck. Thanks for sharing.

whoa whoa ladies dont get so up tight . has it come to the point one cant voice his opinion without you ngirls going to pieces and call me a name like hot shot.. that smarts, he was showing pictures and all were giving your opinions even though you were lying about it . a piece of tin screwed to a fire wall and 70 s diamond tuck interior do not look very professional . sorry but if the truth bothers you girls this much maybe you all should go for the gauge in the radio speaker route , that red neckat its best, now for the can of walmart spray paint and we can set back and admire it....

Joe,
What's with the attitude? We are here to encourage truck building not critiquing everyone's work. If you have some pictures you want to show us of your great truck post them. If you need help with a problem post it.
If you want to be a wiseguy there are probably a lot of other venues where your talents will be more appreciated.

Joe, you didn't critique his truck, you insulted it and shouted the insult as well.
Your profile says you have a 2006 truck. These older trucks have long histories and personalities that have grown over their 60 years of life.
We have truck here that are stock all the way to super darksided, we also have trucks that are in many pieces like mine. They all have their own story to tell. Yelling at them is not cool.
And by the way, these guys weren't lying in their opinions, it is a nice looking truck. Do I like the interior, no not really, but I would take that truck in a heartbeat.

We are about saving these old beauties, and getting them on the road. I bet there are plenty of rattle can paint jobs on this forum. I know of one guy that used a paint brush with farm implement paint. It was awesome.

Why don't you go out and buy one of these in this era, tear it apart and bring it back to life. It will be an amazing experience for you.
