hurstL78 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Here is a link to some pix of a truck I just bought. I bought it off of my grandpa, He had it fixed about 3 or 4 years ago and got in bad health and couldn't finish it, so he parked it in an old barn and let it sit. You can see how dirty it was, I'm still cleaning on the engine and chassis, I'll get some good pics up of it later. Truck has all original sheet metal and until about 6 years ago had been sitting inside for 24 years. It has been completly frame off restoration. It has air ride rear, AC, power steering, Tilt wheel, air ride seats, R model engine, and 9 speed fuller trans.

Vanhttp://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c164/hurstL78/B%20model/Hi Van, sure is a nice truck with a good start for you. I remember photos of that truck from someplace, (maybe here).Always sad when one cannot finish a project. At least it was able to remain in the family.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I will probably just leave it as is until I get it paid off . thanks for the comments.Van Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4204-my-new-truck/#findComment-22019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Van,I just purchased my first truck and I'm happy to have a life long dream come true. Interesting to see ya have a family helping you out. My girl friend is learning some about mine. She's never been around one. You have a GREAT!!! looking BullDog, keep up the good work. I like those fuel tanks..... just wonder how to obtain a pair somewhere? It really gives a truck a custom image.Happy Trucking!!!mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4204-my-new-truck/#findComment-22028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
