Looks like a great "new" ride to bring you back! Congrats. Drive her for a while and she'll give you a name.
Blue is sometimes a her, sometimes a he, and once in a while "smurf" but always Blue. (Usually depends on if he's being old reliable, or she's being finicky. HA HA!)
Welcome back.
Peace,
Jim

Yes it is a beauty! And a steal - I have spent more than that and it isn't even on the road yet. A lot of people have paid more than that just on a paint job. Nice! You seem to like to name them after women in movies, how about Scarlet.

Good to see you back again! That's a great truck and looks well worth the price.
I don't know why, but when you said she wasn't yet named, I thought Henrietta. Makes no sense, so don't ask me why.

Man that looks great, welcome back! After I calculate how much I have put into my truck so far and the fact that it will be a long time PLUS a lot more money to get to the point your truck is at....You did get a smokin deal!

Gee Wally,
You should name it 'Larceny'
Not bad for $8,200!
Nice color...my '51 is in the paint shop right now getting almost the very same red.

Hey Wally,
You are back! You are killing me with your new truck!
I paid $6700 for mine & it was a true basket case. You will
have another Heidt's IFS on there before winter.
Welcome back - this should be fun.

Nice to see a lot of familiar members posting here, thanks for the warm welcome back. I've reconsidered lowering the truck and keeping it simple. We'll install a toyota steering box as well as front disc brakes, then clean up some electrical issues, a tune up, and some interior work. I'm planning on actually being able to use it as a truck and not break the bank in the process.
