Hi Vic,
I have lived in Bangkok for 30 years. The weather is nice now but will probably be hot when you arrive in Jan.

TIT,

Dean ! Do you have that 55 Chevy truck over there ? My wife is from Ubon and every year we fly to Bangkok and spend a few days there and on to Ubon .
What do you do in Thailand ? 30 years there in Thailand . Wow that is a long time. Always looking to see American iron there .
Jan is the best time for us to travel there. Have been there in April and really hot.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Dean ! Just downloaded your pics of the truck. That is way cool that you built it there in Thailand. Where did you find the truck ?
In the states or there in Thailand. Looks like you put a lot of hard work in it. Payed off. real nice truck. I have a 55 at my second home in Reno Nevada. That is where I plan on moving to in the next 3 years. My 55 will have a IFS with coil over shocks. LS1 chevy motor and a 4L60E automatic transmission.
Chat soon

Hi,Vic
If you read my truck build link it details where I bought the truck.
Your truck sound like a nice ride, boy Ubon is a long way from Bangkok.

Merry Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shop
Not a creature was stirring, all the work just had stopped,
The tools were all hung on the peg board with care,
In hopes that Santa soon would be there

The cars were all parked safely covered in the garage,
My Roadster, My Pickup, and even my Hemi Dodge
My wife in her robe and I in my Batman P.J.'s
Had just settled down after shopping for days

When out on the driveway there arose such a clatter!
It sounded to me just like pressure plate chatter
On to the driveway I flew like the Flash
I tripped over the dog and landed in the trash

When there in the driveway beneath the Moon and the Stars
Sat a Model A Coupe with chrome ladder bars
As I walked up closer to get a better view
I noticed a Blown Flathead and cheater slicks too

There behind the wheel sat a driver so tuff
With Tattoos, an earring, and beard oh so ruff
Dressed in Black leather he looked like a Bruiser
I knew right away he must be the Flathead Cruiser"

He said "I pulled second, I pulled third, then I heard a big Bang,
Things started to smoke, things started to clang!"
"I spotted your big garage with hopes of repair"
His back seat was full of presents, but I tried not to stare.

"If you can fix my Ford and make it shift right
I will give you these gifts for ruining your night"
We opened the door and pushed the Ford in
Before I got underneath, he gave me a wink and a grin

The headers were hot, the slicks they were sticky
That blow-proof bell housing would make the job tricky.
I turned on my droplight and gave it a look
The big 3 inch exhaust was making me cook.

When there to my surprise what did I see?
The four tranny bolts had wiggled themselves free
I grabbed my trusty torque wrench and started to turn
As I tightened the last one I could smell my sleeves burn

He slid behind the wheel and then fired up that mill.
As I directed him out, just listening to it idle, it gave me a chill
A Big Blown Flattie with two 94's up top
Chrome reverse rims and a 2 inch suspension drop.

He eased it out to the street and set the line lock
I knew this would not be quiet, probably wake the whole block
He revved it to 6 grand and let the clutch pop
As the rubber and smoke poured from the tires I spotted a cop!

He released the line lock and let that Ford loose
This baby was ALL MOTOR with no signs of Juice!
He fishtailed sideways, grabbed Third with plenty of guts.
With Police in full chase he screamed out for all
"MAKE SURE YOU USE LOCKTITE SO YOU DON'T LOOSEN YOUR NUTS!"

Merry Christmas everyone!

I would love to tell them but that would of hell of a phone bill.

Hey Dean ! What is the possibility of getting your contact number there in Thailand. Maybe while my wife is out shopping with her girl friends I could call you while I am in Bangkok.
You can PM me your phone number if you want.
