My first truck was my yellow 81 chevy 3/4 ton with a well worn 350 engine.  It ran great.  Got me to and from school just fine.  The engine has now been upgraded, along with the interior.  Just have to finish the body work and get it painted.  It is not going anywhere.

OK, Old Yeller was my first.  Rebuilt the engine when I was 15.  Didn't bore it, It lasted until one day i was going down I95 south from college a few years later and smoke was a blowin'.  Rebuilt another, bored .30, flattened heads---that baby was AWESOME! All on a college guy's budget.  I had a few fender benders with it and learned to do body work, and have replace more fenders,hoods and radiators than I can remember on it. Painted in 1970 Ford Yellow, cause I love the black highlight on it, like the 70 Boss 302's. I still have it.

Then I got a 65 coupe.  I restored as concours correct when I was trained to be a judge and learned all the details. Won trophies at mustang shows in D.C.  Still have that one too.

Then I went to a mustang show and found an original, numbers matching, window sticker still intact, from the original owner, '65 GT Convertible Mustang A code engine.  I had to buy it for $6500 back in '89.  Still have that in my garage.

choptop, that was the original color, but it needed a lot of work when I got. My Dad got me a good deal on the paint, and he liked that color, so I went with it.
