I'm from Oklahoma, but I've been living and working in sunny Kuwait for about 2 and a half years now. I've got a 1958 Chevy 3200 stepside that I've had since 1989. I'm the second owner and the truck is still stock with a 235 and 3 in the tree. The truck was my first vehicle, and I used it as an everyday driver all through highschool and most of the way through college. I wish something like these forums had been available back then. It sure would have saved alot of time figuring out how to fix things or where to get some of the harder to get parts.
Right now the truck is parked until I return to the states for good, but when I come back I hope to do a full restoration. The truck is still in mechanically sound condition, and runs and drives good, but there are plenty of small detail type things that need to be taken care of, as well as a few minor upgrades I'd like to make. I'm looking forward to using the information in these forums and picking a few brains to get her back to where I want her to be.
Most of my personal belongings are in storage right now, but I do have 3 or 4 pictures of the truck. Soon as I get a chance I'll post them somewhere and add a link.

I'm actually a DA Civilian, not regular enlisted, but I do work with the military quite a bit, managing and maintaining the ammuntion and explosives. My position is mandatory mobility, but I agreed to do one more year here before I go back to the states. I don't know where my next assignment will be, but I'm sure looking forward to getting back on U.S. soil! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Q8 welcome to the 'bolt. I guess you'll have a project when you get back home!  You've definately come to the right place for info and and parts sourcing. I'll bet you can't wait to see some green countryside! I think you might be the first 'sort of' Middle Eastern 'bolter! Jock
