New truck and just found this site
« on: May 09, 2008, 05:41:43 pm »
I am new to this site and I really like the interaction from all.

I just bought "Big Stella" as my 2 year old named her.  A 1977 crewcab dually, with a 1986 454 under the hood.  I plan to take pictures all along the way...

I am looking forward to fixing her up and enjoying. 

It currently is missing the front bumper and the tailgate.

I am looking for a used complete tailgate with hinges and all.  Please let me know if you have one or are aware of one in good shape at a fair price.  Any suggestion on the best place to find a tailgate. 

I was also looking at buying a new smooth front bumper from Brother's Truck here in California.  Do any of you have good or bad experiences with them and there products??

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Welcome from New Hampshaa
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
