Greetings from TX
« on: April 21, 2010, 05:14:30 pm »
Been lurking around for the last month or so, lots of good info and looks like good people.  I just bought a 79 stepside and have used you guys for some valuable tips.  Just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks.  I hope to pic up several more tips, and maybe payback a little as I dig deeper into the truck.

Truck when I got it:

Thanks for the welcome and complements.  Truck is a long ways from what I have in my head, but it runs now and I get to enjoy driving it while I upgrade/repair it.

Is that a Trans Am peeking out of your garage?

It's actually a 2001 Formula.  I have a 76 TA that I am working on too.  If Pontiac had made a truck that's what I would have tried to find too, but I needed something to carry around Pontiac parts and the wife frowns on greasy things being in her SUV. >:( Don't ask hw I know. ;D

Welcome and that's one of the reasons I bought my 86 lwb is to haul my parts for my two fbodys! The wife frowned on me hauling parts in my yukon.

I've always wanted a nice third gen camaro.  But the clean ones are now getting too pricey for my blood.

BTW, nice truck g2bird.  Welcome aboard.
