Re: Dash trouble update

It is quiet alright and the truck will not be a beast by no means she still has pulling gears and a farmers tranny in her. I still have to swap every thing off the other truck and get the darn thing outta the race car things have hit a major rut i have been forced to move and my grandpappys 68 and 79 ford f100's where stolen some time in the last two weeks but fear not the old girl will get redone. I found a Parts (wrecking) yard that had a few good straight chevys bout the same year as mine right down the road so i will be good as soon as i get my pc here and hooked up ill send pics. of ole blue2 and the stolen fords.

Re: Dash trouble update

I know where canton is cause friends of mine own a body shop in Emory, they have a big car show once a year. Anyway there is a guy in Greeneville named Randy Metzinger(sp?) that WAS a real hobbyist of 73-87's. He was selling some parts to support his habit like some of us do. I really dont know how to get ahold of him but i know people know other people in the truck world. I had bought a decent SWB body down there with intentions of bringing it home but bailed on the idea and he bought it. crossy
