    So I found this truck sitting behind a body shop on 08-09-2011. It had sat like this for 7 years. I only paid $700 for it. My wife and I had been looking for me a project and this was #2 on my list for the ultimate build. #1 is a NL320 which I call the dream chaser because I know I won't find one. So this is pretty much my dream build. I've had Toys in the past but never one like this. Anyway, I want to have it done in time for our next show, Scrapin the Rockies, which will be next August. We just had our first show Sunday 08-14-2011 and it was a big success. My laundry list for this truck isn't long but I want everything to be very specific to my vision. Time for pics, I hope you enjoy this as much as I will. Oh and sorry I just typed all this up on my phone and realized I can't upload pics. They are coming.

    I have it but I guess I'm too "old" to figure it out.

    John, I just pick up the front last Monday. Wasn't lined up but planned long before I found the truck. The deal you offered for your wheels still good? It'll take me a couple weeks to pull the cash but I do want them.
