Alright guys I have been here a few weeks but failed to formally introduce myself. My name is Walter. I am an aircraft mechanic by trade and car/truck nut by choice. Happily married with 2 wonderful babies! I am restoring/rodding a 53 1/2 ton Chevy truck. This is my second 53 although I did nothing but flip my first (bought for 419-sold for 1500 a week later smile ) This truck was a started resto and I have discovered a few things like a 12 bolt rear from a 67-72 chevy truck, shoty fiberglass cab corner repairs, almost some bucket seats and lots of bondo. Needless to say I am undoing alot before i can do anything. my goal is to end up with a modern and sweet daily driver with mods and updates that will last long enough for my son to enjoy (in 16 years!)....and happily another TX member.

here are some pix:

I hate when people leave their brains at home. Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.
