I finally figured out how to post pics, so I had to try it out. Now, I'm creating my own website, so hopefully I'll be able to pull pictures right from there. Red is a great color, but it can get old quick. I'd like to have a black car, or truck, next.

Here's another. Kinda crappy pic, but I haven't loaded the newer ones yet. The truck will have new outside mirrors on it by Friday.

In about 2-3 years I hoping to do a complete frame off restoration on it. I'll probably change my mind about 50 times between then and now. I do like really deep purple. I've though about some cars with that color, but not my truck. Thanks. John.

Nice pickup!
