After putting my trucks on the back burner for the last several years, I guess I have got the bug again. And now that I have retired, I have more time to spend on a hobby. I am in the process of checking out the trucks to see what kind of shape their in after setting for the last 4 or 5 years. I joined this forum severial years ago and never did get on and talk alot compaired to some, but enjoyed reading and getting ideas from all the good members.
I have 2 of these old trucks a 71 that I had started doing some body work on that has a stock (for now) running gear with a 390 and C6. The other is a 70 SB that is basically a truck body on a Mercury Marquis frame and drive train.
So I will get out of here for now and I will catch you a little later.

Re: Hello All. I guess I have the Bumpside Bug again
Thanks for all the welcomes everone. Mancar1 it maybe good I do have a little more time now, because after thinking where I want to go with one of the trucks It just might turn into a full time job, but at least I want have to worry about all the old tales about idle minds.

Re: Hello All. I guess I have the Bumpside Bug again
I just ran across some old pictures of the old trucks, the 70 in the gray primer is the one I will probably start on.

Re: Hello All. I guess I have the Bumpside Bug again
I definatly like the front end. Where did you come across that front bumper?
