Is anyone home?


Oooops, I farted....

 

just me.........

 

I've been watching this section for a while, and it seems almost no one posts here.
I also sent a request to join about 2 months back, since I happen to live in OK, but haven't gotten any confirmation.

 

I know what you mean. The OK chapter used to be pretty active. I think that most people here just got plain busy with other things in their lives. Have you sent Stan (chapter president) a pm?

 

I think that says a lot.........

 

I didnt PM just sent the regular request to be in the awesome okie chapter...just did it so we'll see. Anyhow just thought I'd say whats up

 

That's what I did when I first joined this chapter. However, back then there would be a couple get-togethers every now and then. The reason that I mentioned that Rogue_Wulff send Stan a pm, is that he would get an e-mail alerting him. Over the last couple years it has really slowed down, and I feel that other tings in peoples lives have taken over.

 

I thought about sending a PM, but since this chapter seems to be rather inactive, it just didn't seem that important.
Guess I should have sent a request to join the chapter back when I first signed up. It was way more active then, but I didn't even know it existed....... Also didn't really think my old truck was worth the admiration of others, till it won the March 2010 FTE 57-96 classic picture competition. I only entered because there were just 3 other entries, and the entry period was about to close.

It's just an old "Grandpa" truck, as my daughter calls it. Fitting, since she made me a grandpa a couple years back, though she was only 11 herself when I bought it.

 

I like that body style. When ever I see one around town, I always turn to look.

 

I'm getting ready to do a drivetrain swap under it. The I6 is staying, but the trans, rear axle, and king pin I-beams are getting replaced with stuff from a bronco. 3.50 gears under both end beats 2.75 out back any day, in my book.
Since it's very hard to find a decent condition 4wd of this vintage, especially with a 300/C6/9" rear combo, I'm just going to make one. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

 

I'm still here, every now and then. With work and racing I just don't get on here very often. Also I have put my old truck on the back burner for now and have just worked on the race car. I havent even started my truck in 6 months. I hope to see a few people in a coule of weeks at the mid america shelby meet.

 

oh hell yes the shelby meets coming up!!!! WOOT!!!!!!I hope that guy is there making pancakes again this year at the sunday show!

 

will you be at the drag races, stop by the trailer and introduce your self. Would like to meet a few more people from the forum.

look for this car

 

I will, sweet ride bro! I'll be the skinny white guy tryin to control my crazy kids lol

 

I'm going to try and make it to the drags this year. Haven't been in a long time. I usually end up looking at the cars down at the hotel.
