Howdy From Oklahoma!
« 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.

Welcome. Looking good. Lets see that 57
77 c-10 - 77 400 86 700r4 "Emmy"
83 citation - 2.5L Four on the Floor!
88 sierra - reman 350 700r4 "Eleanor"
All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

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

Heres a pic of my 57 sitting on an 85 SWB frame. After I get the 85 finished I'll be glad to update you guys on its progress.

Ha good eye, beats kicking the tires. Just a note that ugly fellow in the pic is a friend, not me.

I'm real thin in the hair department, so I think I'd settle for the mullett. LOL
