Changed my avatar

Hi everybody! Changed my avatar so it fits better into the truck forum.Glad you guys (and our host) did not kick me out with my '55 Caddy.And: maybe more of you like to talk to me BECAUSE I OWN A TRUCK TOO...

 

I liked the Caddy !!!

 

Yeah,I liked her too-but she had to go.Sold to a friend.I had (have ) too many projects,and since 'less is more',I will concentrate on only a few (< 10) I will keep.Maybe I get some finished when I have a little more time and lesser projects.Too bad I like most anything old that has a motor in it....

 

Well,,,, truth be told ?? That panel truck in my avitar sold two years ago !! Don't tell anyone !!!



Val

 

WE ALL KNOW DENNIS, WERE ALL STILL TRYING TO GET PAST IT.....

ARE YOU THINKING OF GETTING ANOTHER IN THE NEAR FUTURE?

 

Yea I knew Dennis sold his panel, but I was trying to forget it too!

 

Maybe...

 

And all this time I thought you were just in denial...

 

I finally added my avatar to my profile. Like Oldcarsnbikes, I've got way to many projects on my hand. I'm about burnt out on my GTP, so the truck will get more attention now. Of course, it's starting to warm up so that means my boat and fishing gear will start getting more attention too!

 

Would be cool if you did get another Panel DVal or even a 60-66 c10 truck....

 

It looks great!! I also liked the caddy too!!

 

Hi all,
looks like everybody likes other makes of cars also-maybe we should come up with a new thread : Show which other cars ya all have -
how 's that sound?

@ 62 short step:
Thanks, yeah,looks good on a SMALL picture.The truck has all sorts of problems,but at least it has a historic plate and new inspection.The pre owners did not do much good.Its lots of work.But I will keep the truck,find the missing parts for it and get it on the road. I like GMC (even if parts finding is hard),because its something special.At least over here in Germany.

nice truck Oldcarsnbikes harder to find parts here in America unless you have lots of money..

 

thanks 283 man.I do not know a lot of people with a lot of money.I try to keep cost down by doing most work myself.I can and will not (for example) pay about 4500 $ for a decent paint job.I will primer and drive,or do a 20 footer paint job myself (for 200 $).Dont care too much what people say...A friend promised me to paint my wheels and hubcaps for a small fee-sometimes luck gives you a kiss..

that would be cool if you build another dennis, i know its hard to build the same or similiar vehicle more then once when theres so many choices of awsome cars to build out there and lifes only so long.
