I looked for your car while I was there Aaron and didn't see it. But I wasn't looking too awful hard either lol. I looked around as we walked in the back row where all the cars are usually for sale. We only stayed for a few hours and couldn't stand the heat anymore! Heck, even several swap meet venders were leaving.

As soon as we walked in, we passed one guy that had a part I wanted. I said Ill buy it on the way out. Sure enough the guy had already packed up and left... Guess I didn't need it too bad lol

 

It was all the way in the back on the road next to a jacked up 68 Chevy truck on 40s . no interest:-) darn I will have to keep it and finish it and enjoy with my family.

 

That's the spirit!

 

Evening guys.

Gave the old beast a bath - amazing what a little spray wax and good washing will do for an old truck:

 

Looks good

 

lololol he said "old"

looks nice though! my old cars are 89 years old and the "new" one is only 73yrs old....sheesh WHAT is wrong with me?

 

That's a sharp looking truck, Bill!

 

Lol- oldest of my fleet so I guess it's all in the perspective...

Thanks - great base for all the fun I have in mind. Started a build thread in the PA chapter to document it all.

 

I dig it too Bill!

Yeah these aren't by any means 'old trucks' but they are 'old enough to not be new'.
People in the 73-79 section are like "what does that make my truck?! REALLY OLD BODY STYLE?!"
I think my perspective is people are divided into two or three categories:
1) Majority - Truck got old and out of date enough that they justified or wanted to buy newer.
2) minority - They love these trucks for whatever wacked out reason
3) smaller minority - these trucks are readily available and cheap and are known to get the job done.

 

Ideally, my favorite project truck would be a '73 Highboy. But those are getting REALLY hard to find. But I do love the mid-90's body style (the OBS look) and my 10th generation (the 98) F150 grew on me. Besides, I've got plans for it that will make it stand out from the rest

 

Hey Bill, you should link your thread here. I like reading that kind of stuff. Sharp truck!

 

Thanks Tom - click on "The tOwBS" in my signature...live link to the thread. Not a lot there at the moment, just some game planning more than anything else. But that'll change...soon...lol.

 

Cool! Thanks Bill!

These are truly great trucks, and this is truly a great place. Looking forward to keeping an eye on your progress.

 

I've got deadlines so I gotta make progress lol...everyone's expecting me to be at RRE now next year!

 

I guess I'm #3 Alex! LOL
