Welcome oletrux. I would guess by the name you have some old trucks maybe. You are not going to be a nuisance here. Tell us a little about yourself and where you live and most importantly post some pictures of all your vehicles.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
I'm an old guy who has dabbled in rebuilding cars for years. Here's part of the current ones. I'll put up 'before and afters'......
40 Ford coupe. 95% completed.
55 Chevy pickup: I don't have any digital photos of it, but it was in about the same shape when I dragged it home in 2003.
Finished this truck in 2007. Been on 10 HRPT Long Hauls, has 54,000 miles on it so far.
On a side note, my work car is a 94 Z-28 Camaro, and we also drive a 50th Anniversary 2003 Corvette convertible.
I bought the Vista Cruiser for my next project and probably paid too much for it, but it's a no-rust California car. Not sure of how I'll change it, but thinking about a W-30 clone........and no welding/grinding to be done, so it's worth it!

Definitely brings back old memories of VC's I owned in the past... One of mine was a 71, but a little lighter blue... Great trip car, plenty of room and comfort...
