It's sort of semi-automatic...as I moderate several echoes....so, when I submit a new one...I just update them all...that way it's hard to miss one. This is a very well-behaved echo....a real pleasure Thom LaCosta Our Business is Business --- * Origin: HQ AmberNet & Netland (1:261/3000) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 245 OLD TRUCKS Ref: DE200001 Date: 09/30/96 From: ROY WITT Time: 04:49pm \/To: RUSS COMPTON (Read 4 times) Subj: 76 chevy Hello RUSS! 26 Sep 96 17:22, RUSS COMPTON wrote to ALL: RC> hello everyone I'm new around here, RC> what i'm interested in is finding some good sheetmetal parts RC> preferably a bed at a decent price.

My '81 has JH> parts from many different years. most of which I had to modify JH> to make work. I would have too but the thing had 250,000 +++ miles on it when I turned it into a tractor. I ran it in the swamp pulling sleds full of logs for two or three years. Then one day the front end went through the ice. It was late and I was forced to wait till the next day to get it out. Overnight it sunk deeper and then froze into place. We spent two or three days trying to get it out and when we finally did we had bent the frame under the front doors. I removed the rear body and hauled idrt with it for another year or two and then parked it. I was going to rebuild it as a pickup but it was too far gone. I have since taken the rear wheels and put them under my log splitter. The only thing worth looking at is the tranny and engine and even those are probably so worn that they are worthless. Now the 84 was a piece of junk from the day i bought it. It is parked with a new engine, and transfer case. The carb and mufflers are new. It even had a fresh coat of paint. The transmission started pissing out oil and I parked it. Never even looked under it to see where it leaked. I hated that thing with a passion. 7000 in repairs in one year and she had the nerve to break again. I never did and never will buy a Jeep again. I have bought two rangers, 1 toyota and 2 subarus since. And if ford don't wise up I will be buying a new toyota pickup as soon as this ranger that I am running now croaks. Now if I could find the 67 GMC that I want well maybe I will think American Truck Again....BTW the GM is on strike up here.
