<p>From <a href="mailto:cowpibob@aol.com">Bobby</a>
<p>I bought my 1953 3800 Chevrolet truck from a friend of mine in June of
2001.&nbsp; It was pretty rough.&nbsp; It came from Arizona before he had it and
was kept in a warehouse before it was sold to me.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It was fairly solid, but had some rust.&nbsp; I started the complete
restoration in October of 2001 and after a lot of work and money, I have
something I'm really proud of.&nbsp;</p>

going to put Fenton headers on it, but I ended up just putting a straight pipe
with a turn down on the stock manifold and it sounds pretty sweet.&nbsp;
