Hello from Alaska

[The_Emu]

Hello Everybody.

I'm Ben. Currently living in Bethel, Western Alaska.

There is quite a bit of vintage iron around the villages out here. Oldest I have seen is a 1920's Dodge Brothers Tudor in the village of Grayling.

I have been reading here for a few months and getting ideas. I have always liked the traditional and rat rods more than the polished to perfection trailer queens.

If I can find a place to work I might start a project this year. Wrenching in the snow is "unpleasant." There is snow on the ground here 5 months of the year. I'm thinking about building a 70's pickup. They are cheap and plentiful here.

Welcome Ben, lots of good helpful folks here and lots of projects going on for ideas and inspiration.

I like a 70's, Ford? pickup. They make a nice platform for a vintage truck.

I am new here also- I worked for a year in Delta Junction AK, great place to visit.

Welcome to the site.

Maybe. My ususal ride is a 79 F150. So i already know my way around them a bit.

Actually I was thinking about starting with a pre '79 Jeep J series truck. They didn't change much from '63 to '79. Style would be similar to the '68 F100 Davidhud29 built. http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12919&page=2

Welcome. Work with what you can find. Visiting Alaska is on my "bucket" list. I am an outdoorsman and fisherman. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the site.

Welcome to the site. I used to live in AK too. I lived in North Pole. My daughter still gets people that think she is telling lies when she tells them that she is from North Pole! lol

used to live in Tok Alaska!

There are lots of old irons around Alaska especially in the interior where there is very little rust. Welcome there are some good folks and very knowledgable folks here to boot. I will be headed back to Alaska to pickup some more of the stuff I left behind this summer. I reside in Missouri now for about a year and kinda like it.
