Don't know how to do that. I am old school, just got my first computer year and half ago. Son needed the computer and internet for school, wife to get on facebook. I just think this website is great because everyone here loves this era of trucks. Most of my friends have street cars, and their is nothing like a Chevy Truck of this era.

i have always loved them too, but have always built s10's I aquired this truck for free and it pretty much needed everything replaced. tore it down to bare frame and am just buying pieces as i go. I just scored a bed from texas for 450 bucks and a set of clean doors for 50. getting ready to build the frame/suspension now (as money permits that is) If you need any paint and body work I work for a body shop in Maumee!

I work in maumee at the Anderson's. My truck has original paint, red with 80,000 miles. Has a 355 built, 700 r4 with stall, and a built 8.5 ten bolt with 3.73 gears, moser axles, Eaton Posi unit. Glad to see you upgraded from the little brother truck's.

I have heard they sandblast there pretty cheap.... buddy had a frame and wheels done for a tractor for like 150 bucks and they primered it all too. I am down the street at rouen toyota running the body shop there. Is yours a long bed?
