Howdy folks, I have been lurking around here the last few days, and I gotta say, It looks like yall have alot of fun, and help each other alot.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Bert, and I am a 33 year old HVAC tech. I live in a small town in central Texas that is located about 30 miles west of Bryan / College Station. Ever since I can remember, I was into custom cars. Every car I have ever owned was customized in some way. I started out with mini trucks, them moved on to lowriders. I grew out of lowriders, and got into the jet boat scene. Well, I just finished a total resto on my old jet boat, so i figured it was time to start something else. So I picked up an old 48 chevy truck from an old local body shop/ hot rodder owner. I told him what I was looking for, and he took me to his back pasture, and told me to pick out the one I wanted. I bet he had 10 or 15 of them old trucks out there.
Well, any way, this is gonna be my first traditional styled truck build, so i am sure I will have tons of questions.
Oh yea, I also picked up an extra cab with the beginings of a 5" chop, and suicide doors, and an extra front clip. Here are a few pics of what I have to work with.
