Hi and welcome to this build thread. Enjoy reading it and looking at the pictures. Don't be shy if you have got something to say about the build please do so. I am always open to new ideas.
To know where we are going we need to know where we have been. I have done the drag racing thing since the 60s along with hot street cars etc and I decided that I just wanted a driver to have and work on with the basics done. i figured out how much I had to spend and I went looking last fall. That was when my truck found me. it was not what I was looking for but now I am glad i found it.
This build will be based on two rules.
1. This is not a show truck or trailer queen but it will be a driver.
2. The sole job of this truck is to put a smile on my face.
That's all the rules there are. The truck is limited by my imagination, budget, my age and health. I will continue to always try to improve it. Most of the work will be done over the winter months and the summer months will be spent driving and enjoying it. So now on with the show.
Here is a picture of the truck as I brought it home. The day I bought it I drove 175 miles back home with it. It was a blast.
I almost forgot, since I have had this truck, I have done some work to it and have pictures so i will continue with some posts and descriptions of what and why I did something.
