Hi Fellas, I'm finally getting around to posting a couple of pics of my truck, I've been a little busy lately and haven't had time to get on the board too much.
Its a work in progress like everyone's rides I'm sure. It's a long way from where I want it to be, but it's fun. This is Pedro:

350 Chevy
no clip
straight axle front end
3 speed Sag -on the tree
12 bolt posi
no bags
nosed and shaved


BTW If anyone is interested I have some pics of the last Billetproof
show out here this last fall. Let me know and I can post them.

I took those pics today, winter in CA is about as nice as you could ask for, the weather is what I'm going to miss the most. I guess you gotta pick your poison. I'll post those BP pics in the next couple of days.

I like your taillight idea, how well do they work, tho. Mounted like that, wouldn't they be designed to shine upwards?

BTW, welcome to the board and lets see those Billetproof pics!

Welcome to ND. I live in Bismarck 110 miles south of Minot.

The club in Minot is the Dakota Cruisers, they have around 200 members. But old school they are not. You might fit right in with the Chevelle.If you haven't checked out their web site you can link to it under the main menu on this site.

Thank you for the nice replies to the pics of my truck, the tail lights work cherry. I saw the car club in Minot while I was looking for a scene in ND, I'm glad they have good enthusiasm but you're right....not for me.

Thanks, I appreciate that Briggs. The grille is bullets, we made a framework to fit the front. It's kind of a temporary thing, I really want to do an early 50 chevy car grille bar but haven't got a hold of one yet.
I hope to find the time to get the thing sitting more respectable in the rear end before we move in the spring, but I'm working like a fool on my house to get it all pretty to sell it in March. I guess we'll see what happens. I look forward to meeting you guys later on this spring/summer.
