I have to ask:

Is the truck blue with rear glass etched in? And did it come with white wagon wheels?

Welcome...

another slick owner in Texas is a good thing.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I’ll get pics up as soon as I can.

As for the ride, it is harsh, at best. May need some new kidneys soon.

I see that some of you have seen this truck before. Yes, it is light blue, with the ford logo and a muscle bound rat in a tank top standing next to it. Not to mention the barefoot gas pedal.

If there are secrets that you know about my truck, please inform me before the leak out.

It is definitely a project!! But what the hell, I needed another reason to spend some money.

Yep, I know the guy who previously owned that truck. His online username is Voh. We've talked quite a bit in the past.

If you don't mind me posting, here are some more pics of the truck:

Have fun with that truck!!!

Looks good! I would seriously be thinking of getting some bump stops over that rear axle though.

thanks matt. it's been alot of fun with her so far. except the fact that there is no a/c. i have a few friends with "skills", and a c-notch is in the near future. along with many other things.

thanks for all the warm welcomes.
