Feeling like a newbie again.
 

I don't see a lot that I know or remember then again 10 years is a long time. When I got here there wasn't a forum per say. A few pics and a message board.
There was no Facebook, My space, now there is all that crap to go up against. Hope that I can share my knowledge with others and maybe I can get some more. I did not sell my truck, it hasn't really changed much (383 stroker) different tires but still looks ok. Tomorrow I am planning on getting it out, washing and going to a cruise in to benefit an old friend. She is getting out for the first time in 10 years. End of rant.

Your gorgeous stepside 4x4 hasn't been out in 10 years? (Welcome Back!)

Wow.

My truck has been through some changes.

You probably remember it like this:

12 years outside in the carolina sun has ruined the paint, so I made a few changes...

Hey Mudder, I'm still here and still building trucks. I keep telling my wife that I'm getting to old for this stuff. She just smiles and says YEAH, RIGHT...:)

Good to see you posting again & the truck coming back out.

I bought a 68 cab that is sooooo nice about 5 years ago and have never done nothing with it. I would like to get something going. A 3/4 4x4 short fleet sounds really good. I got the cab from fine69 and he ended up with my cowl hood. I liked the original any ways.:)

Glad to have you back Mudder.

I saw you posted a recent pic in the 4x4 section, man she still looks really good!

Thanks!!!! It feels good to be back. I have really missed spending time with the truck. I started an Album.

Got the truck all ready to go yesterday. Looked really nice and hour later a cold front when by and it rained the rest of the day. Went to parts store and got stuff to finish some electrical projects I started 10 years ago.

Welcome back, Mudder. Looking at that picture shows me you were trained well in fire fighting.

10 years... really??? I hadn't seen any posts from you but didn't realize that much time had passed since.

Re: Feeling like a newbie again.
 

Looking great! Mine have not been out much either...............

Re: Feeling like a newbie again.
 

I've often wondered where you went. 10 years and some of us yahoo's are still here acting a fool!

The picture reminds me of a song, Get up to get down get funky. That's what you did. Washed her up to get funky :cool:

Just messing with you. That's what we do here with all the newbies :cool:

I guess this song would be more proper, though:

My old truck (Lefty) sat for 9 years. Last summer my nephew bought it and he's loving it. Getting it back on the road wasn't hard. Too bad he took off the 275/50-15 BFG's and went with some no-name 235/75-15's. Before I handed it over I used it to haul everything for a 14x9 deck, in one trip. God, I want that truck back!

Re: Feeling like a newbie again.
 

Im surprised you sold it. Not judging just a woah moment lol

Don't feel too bad, My dad's firebird was brought to my house in 2010. I managed to strip it down and buy a lot of nice parts for it. Realized I won't have the time I would need to devote to a total resto for another 20 years, so I bought a completely rust free original 68 firebird.

My dad want's to try to tackle it again, so he's picking it up in November. The last time it ran and I went for a ride in it was 1989, I was 8. Still remember it. Driving the 68 was the first time I'd ever actually driven a first gen.
