My project...comments please
At the age od 71, I am at the end of building modified trucks. My old bones are giving out.
The last truck I am building I have been working on for 4 years & I am getting towands the end of my last project. It's has the top chopped, cab & frame lengthened 3" thru the door area. A late model modified bed with caddy fins added. Modified dash, rain gutters removed.....etc. I would appreciate your comments, but please be kind. Thanks Don(St Cloud, FL) PS- I can post more pictures if anyone would like to see the other modifications Last edited by weldvair@embarqmail.; 03-07-2010 at 11:44 AM. Reason: add ps |

Don't give up on doing projects. You are still moving. My dad is 86 and is working on a 1935 1-1/2 ton. It keeps him going

Re: My project...comments please
Reading your text I did not think I would like the longer doors. I was wrong.
Looks cool ! Very nice.

Re: My project...comments please
You do nice work. But, don't stop here. I'm just a youngster at 62, and I sure hope I've got a few more good wrenching years in me too.

I have one more car to finish, but I do not think I will be able to do it.
