New from SoCal

Post by albertv78 »

Hello all,
Just got my first bump this past weekend and I can't wait to start working on her. I've been browsing through the boards here for a while and I must say this place is the best. Anyways here she is...

Needs a new driver fender (got the pass already) and a tailgate. Hopefully I can find one for a good price. I paid $900 for the truck, she runs and doesn't have much rust. The cab mounts look good (to me at least). Thanks for all the info on the website and I'll try to keep updates on the build up of the truck.
Thanks,
Albert :fr:

Oh yeah, a late welcome to the site. Sorry, I just about forgot. So used to talking to long time members that I forgot how to act around new ones. Welcome aboard from Virginia.

Welcome from NorCal!
You've got a good truck to start with - sounds like it was a good deal too.
What are your plans for it?
