Nice and what a steal on the truck, man if I just come up with 2 or 3 like that I would be set :lol:

Re: Here we go!!!
 

Lol.....if only , it's one of three trucks to make one . The best part is its a CST! Here is one of the parts trucks I got form another guy for 500 bucks no motor but it was a CST Custom Camper. No buddies or any interior.

Great deal on the swb for $500, and welcome to the board. By the way where did you get the spid sheet made up at?

Re: Here we go!!!
 

I LOVE THE ENGINE!!! the original air cleaner and the carburated look really just sets it off!

Re: Here we go!!!
 

If your pictures are larger than 480 it takes the site time to resize them. I had the same problem.

Re: Here we go!!!

Re: Here we go!!!

Re: Here we go!!!
 

The truck was really rough. The SPID was made by a guy on this board chipflyer,just search SPID info and you should find it.

Re: Here we go!!!
 

That engine is fantastic. Had to a double take on it. Nicely done.



Best bet is to open an account at Photobucket. Easy to use, great to keep things organised, and best of all ... free!

That way you can add multiple images per post, as apposed to a new post per image. Can also do some basic editing/resizing etc.

Thanks Russ......that's a great name you have:lol:
