Thanks for the warm welcome, help, and words of encouragement everyone! Sorry for the late responses, but here I go...finally!
Martin,
Thanks for the photo help! I hope I did it correctly.
Mike,
It is cool to have this truck for so long and to know the history of it. I have many fond memories and I can't wait to make more.
AChipmunk,
Thanks for the welcome! Ya'll will be hearing from me in the other forums, if you haven't already.
Rich,
Thanks for the welcome, and as for the small steps, I started with the Antique Vehicle Tag that I purchased back in 1988. It was pretty rusted, but it looks pretty good now. Is that small enough:) Next comes a complete fluid drain and refill, fuel system cleanup, oil canister addition, points, plugs, wires, etc.
RTR (Real Trucks Rattle),
Wow! I like the sound of that, or Roll Tide Roll! (I am a big Alabama fan!) I will try to be a good steward of the site, but please have patience with me since I am a "New Guy".
RK53,
Back at you! Welcome!
Jerry,
I am located northwest of B'Ham in the area of Smith Lake and yes I saw your post, not your favorite city! Well, they are tearing down the CBD bridges (Central Business District) and that part of the interstate will be out of service all of 2019. You just thought it couldn't get any worse! That said, they are totally redoing the "malfunction junction" so hopefully things will get better eventually.
John,
You are right! It doesn't get much better! You have quite an extensive collection and I am really digging that Apache Fleetside!
Frank,
I love your truck! Kind of like an older brother or sister to my truck, and maybe from the same mother. My truck was born in Atlanta, with the heartbeat (engine) from Flint, Michigan. One question though, is that color Mariner Blue?
