Welcome from DFW.
Been working on an 82 k5 for the last 18 months. It's in paint now.
Good luck.
Thanks for the welcome.

Where in DFW? I'm in NW Denton and SW Cooke Counties. Would love to meet to see your K5.

I'm in Euless/Ft Worth. Sure, hopefully it will come back from paint soon. Covid has delayed them.

Welcome from MA and thank you for your service from a fellow USAF vet.
Thanks for the note. When and where was your AF time?

Really like your flatbed. Did you do the work yourself?

Thanks for the warm welcome.

If you're providing for your family, it's all good no matter what your occupation!

We'll have to plan on getting together after our jail sentences are up!

Nice! People say they smell. I always say I didn't realize $100 bills had an odor!

That's awesome, The price of gas is cheaper for you and land too! Keep it quiet cattle are the easiest job ever if you have a place for them!

Just 4 years from 85 to 89 mostly at Maguire AFB in NJ. Yes, I did all the work on the truck and built the flatbed. Thanks.
