Newest Addition (Forever Project)

My buddy and I picked up this truck for a pretty good deal. This is a 1968 Highboy.

We're also picking up a 1970 f250 2wd for a great deal as well, mainly for parts as it doesnt have a motor or transmission.

Basically we're gonna make a complete truck and then figure out what to do from there.

Started on it already a-a-a-a-! HaH! Try keeping your hands off it now! I worked solid every day on mine for the first 6 months. I couldn't keep my hands off it. LOL!

It's easy to keep out hands off. Between our schedules, him and I only have one day off together and that's Sunday's. So we get to sit and wait for a week a time before we can go mess with it some more.
