New Guy from Alabama

Post by biggene »

Hi there everyone. My name is Gene Baker, and I live right outside of Huntsville, Al. I don't currently have a bumpside, wrecked my last one, but I am actively searching for a project truck. I had a 69 Sport Custom when I was in high school, my dad and I put a 460 in it out of a 74 LTD and man that thing would smoke the crap out of those 14" tires on the back, :lol: . Then I did contracting work for a while in the 90's and my work truck was a 72 sport custom with a 390.

I am really more drawn to the long bed style, I just think the short bed on those trucks makes it look too short.

Anyways, I am glad to be here and look forward to talking to all of you about my various adventures in turning my bump into the picture in my head.

Thanks for reading,
Gene
