Thumbs up Newbie from NY

Hi all! I'm a newbie from Copake NY in Columbia County. My name is Don and I've owned Mopars all of my life and at 61 I've owned alot of them. Right now I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9L V6, 1997 Chrysler LHS 3.5L V6 and a 1950 Dodge 1/2 ton p/u that Ive had for over 22yrs. Out of all the trucks I've owned over the yrs,This one is the only one that I really liked alot. When I bought it off of a farm in 1986 in NH it was a mess but it was still running. I drove it for 9yrs with the 218CI flathead until it stopped running. I then put a 230CI flathead in it and drove it for another 5yrs until it got tired and wouldn't run anymore. I sure as hell wasn't going to junk it so I streetrodded it. I put a 74 Cuda 318CI engine in it with a 904 trans. Over a time I put over $20,000 into it and much TLC and now it's a big show winner. If you check out my username (mopar madness 1) you'll see it in full color and I know that some of you will like what I've done to it so far. Thanks for giving me the chance to tell all of you about myself. Remember!! "OLD MOPARS NEVER DIE" "THEY JUST CHANGE DRIVERS"....................

Welcome to DF Don! I have to say you did a killer job on the 1/2 ton, that's a beautiful machine.
