Title: Howdy From Oklahoma!
Post by: rwhit57 on July 16, 2010, 11:33:32 pm: Hey everybody I'm new here, I'm Randy from hot Okla. I have a 85 SWB that I cut down from a LWB. I'm in the process of freshening it up a bit and painting it. I also have a 57 truck sitting on an 85 chassis. I tried to post a couple of pics.

Post by: rwhit57 on July 17, 2010, 12:12:06 am: Thanks, The 57 is on hold until I somewhat finish the 85. Just can't afford both. Right now on the 85 trying to get the motor cleaned up, new A-frame bushings done, then put the new inner fenders on before I paint it. I drove this old truck for years, just got tired of it looking so bad. I do have a few pics of the 57 I'll see if I can get one on here. Here's a before and after of my motor, not quite finished. Thanks again for the welcome
