    So I finally decided to register. I have lurked for a few weeks, thanks for the entertainment.
    I have a 1987 Xcab Longbed that I basically got for free. It had an auto tranny, ticking top end, an an unidentified oil leak. Im a mechanic, so it seemed like a good deal. Long story short: the truck was a pile of ****.

    I've had the truck for less than a month, and have basically rebuilt the whole thing. I'll create a build/project thread with pics in the near future.

    I'm bad about taking time to post pics, because I have a lack of patience with technology.
    I had a stroker Harley Shovelhead that was made to my specs with a custom hydraulic roller valve train and crank from an Evo, hence the one-off part. But...I sold that bike back in March.

    Thanks for the hospitality!

    Da Roach, VB is as mysterious as NOVA. Jk, it's Virginia Beach.
