    Whats up guys, Im posting from Central Wisconsin with a 85 Reg cab project.

    I bought this truck about 4yrs ago, drove it till the head gasket went and it sat in the shop untill about 4 months ago when I decided it was her time to get cut. I have finished 5 trucks in my time so far with 3 hardbodys, 1 dime and a 720. I have always a eye for the late 70's-80's toys, but in wisconsin you gotta wait till you see one worth touching.

    future plans include it moving under its own power!!lol

    Its bagged in the front and still working on the rear. Im still debating if I just want to put the notch in and call it good or to back half it. I went in to this truck figuring a 7yr project do to the fact that I work 60hrs a week and plus the time at the shop and wife +3 kids.........yawn.......It will get there.


    The only thing that was set in stone from the start is that it will be bagged. I have a turbo and a 22r but I also have a small block sitting in the shop with no homes, soooo thats still out there.
