Re: How many trucks in your local Neighborhood

In my neighbor hood we have about 5 that i know of theres one a couple blocks from me it is a 65 short fleet side with a 350 and a 3 speed column shift looks pretty good i was talking to the owner he said he has owned it for about 19 years and still working on it (long term project) his son which i think lives with him has a 64 short fleet side i think but i havent seen them move it so im not sure whats up with that one they keep it on the side of the house probably another project but the paint looks pretty good, they have a 72 long fleet there to but i dont think they did much progress on that one , about two streets down from that house there is another one it is a 62 short step side fully customized it has a corvette engine with i think he said 4 speed automatic, sitting on a camaro frame the back has bags the front is lowered every thing electrical from the windows to to the gauges custom tail lights, the back fenders are widened about four to five inches to make the wheels fit, he said he invested around 25k into it, all parts from LMC, when i talked to both owners they had some good words of wisdom one said "when you have money you dont have time and when you have time you dont have money" i thought that was pretty funny and the guy was nice, and the other owner said "you cant be good at every thing on your project you will always need help weather it be electrician, painter, welder, or machinery" those weren't very encouraging words but ehhh still was nice to see more trucks like mine around the neighborhood, the last two i know of is one owned by my friend his is a 61 apache short step side, and finally my 64 long step side, hopefully i can find more around here, i cant wait for the school fundraiser i now know who to invite to the auto tech car show would be nice to see a couple old school trucks parked side by side
