Default Hello

I have been waiting for what seems like forever to get my hands on a good ol' truck. I was stationed overseas for several years, and took almost two years for me to find the truck I wanted after getting back. For me its the '77 Dodge PW, full time four wheel drive, 5.9 360. It's not the best looking, and probably not the best running (both of which I am working on), but its everything I want when I think of the word "Truck". There's no way to mistake the sound, look and feel of a truck. One that will leave ruts in its wake, fan-tail all four tires in deep mud, pull your neighbors Toyota out in the winter, and puts that daydream look on a man or boys face (some special women and girls included..). I'm by no means a certified mechanic, but I know how to turn a wrench and get dirty. I'm new, I'm here, and if you all don't mind, me and my ol' Dodge will be stickin around.

I was in England for three years at RAF Lakenheath if you have heard of it, it was a pretty good experience overall. Though I am glad I'm out of the military now..lol. The truck itsn't all that great yet.. but when all the works done, and the muds flying, it will all be worth every penny and hour spent getting it ready.
