Totally far from smoking

I guess that I'm for one either crazy or going thru male menapause but I sold my other play toy today. Ive had it for 20 yrs and just lost interest in it. I guess tomorrow reality will set in and I will wonder why I let it go but heres a couple of pics.

Nice truck......hopefully it will go to a good home where it will be loved.

Argh...... you could have made yourself a GMC Smoker from the bed.

Judging from the pics that is a pretty straight 'ol truck. I bet your gonna miss it buddy.

 

[msmith]

Yeah chad I will but I left some reminders in front of the house with it today.

Great truck Marvin! What are you going to do to it?

 

[peculiarmike]

Whaddaya nuts??????

Hope you got the bucks it is worth. You can dab tears with them.

 

[chris_harper]

[hawgheaven]

Ohhh, that's a nice truck... I hope you did the right thing!

While we're on the subject, here's one of my toys...

In German, this thread would be "Faarfrumschmokin".
Just sent my 76 Silverado out for some more ponies...going up to 475-490HP. Reeeaal good on gas.

It's a '51 Plymouth Business Coupe. I bought it in '88, gave it a serious cosmetic resto, not a full blown, frame off resto. I also have a '52 Plymouth 2dr sedan, which is a fastback that is still "in progress"... pix below. The first pic is how it looked when I drug it home, the second is with the front clip removed. The next is the new engine in place, and the last is the "butt", which shows some of the body work and the neat roof line.

 

[hhersh]

My guess is a 52 or 53 Dodge business coupe.......

 

[deejaydebi]

It's a tank! I had an Aunt that aimed one of those around town forever! I swear this woman was sooo bad she had her nephew (a lawyer) fight the state to get a drivers licence at age 60! Never drove before that.

You gota picture this little old lady about 4'5" tall sitting on like three pillows with another two behind her - 2x4's bolted to the peddles driving white knuckled down the road a about 25 MPH peeking through the steering wheel!

A hell of a lady though! Just passed last year at 98!

That's a great car Hawg!

 

[hawgheaven]

That's funny! God bless her!

Thanks, glad you like the "Princess"... she's a helluva relic!

 

[shellbellc]

Was she ever an actresss??? I might have seen her in a Wendy's commercial.

Nice car you have there Hawg. The deal didn't go down I still have the truck and have decided I'm keeping it. I have thought about building a smoker in the bed and am thinking about doing it.

 

[hawgheaven]

It was meant to stay in your possession, glad you're keeping it! I like the smoker idea!

 

[gypsyseagod]

slide out smoker ala jesse james w/ the flip up 53" plasma for the big games ??
