Hey all. I am Bill in Mechanicsville, VA, which is just outside of Richmond. I love almost anything pertaining to old cars and trucks. My Dad was a moonshiner back in the 50s and was also into racing dirt tracks in the 50s through the 70s. So I've been around old cars for years. I hope to meet some new friends.

Welcome to the site. Are you building something? or Driving something?

Currently have a 53 Ford F100. I bought it finished. It is way nice. I'm usually concerned it will get damaged in some way; not good when trying to enjoy an old truck. Will sell it soon for more space in the shop. I recently got rid of my mostly original 34 Ford 1-1/2 ton truck, flatbed, complete with minor dents and scratches. I had way more fun with the '34 than the '53 but sold the '34 as I'm clearing out space for the next project.
The next project... I bought a new 2011 F550 stripped motorhome chassis that will get an old cab, creating a hauler. I rescue a lot more vehicles than I finish and need a hauler. But I get to meet tons of nice people as I pass on what I wind up not using.

You know it! - I have fallen in Love with what I used to think was the "ugliest" thing out there. - I'm looking now for a decent COE cab to grace that "empty canvas". - Late at night, I can hear the chassis calling out to the old forgotten cabs. - It's like a new baby calling out for MaMa.

Welcome to RRR! I woulda had a hard time parting with the flatbed.

It was hard. - But, I had my time sharing it with many people. - It was time for someone else to share in the fun. - Besides, that new chassis is dying to get into the shop to get its new cab, so it too, can be shared with others.

Welcome, looks like it's meant for an old COE body!!
