    Ok Guys I will start a build thread.
    I was going to build a 1953 White 3000 COE. I have changed my mind. I bought a 1954 Chevy COE and will pick up the body around the end of the month. I already have a 85 Chevy dually for a donor ch***is and a 50's Holmes tow truck bed. I have a 92 Chev 350 with TBI and a 700R4 to go behind it. I also have a Frieghtliner Sleeper I may use undecided at this time. My goal is to build a unit I can tow my 5th wheel RV and my goose neck horse trailer Will start post with pictures of what I have and will up date as I can

    Every thing is going good. The therapy is worse than the surgery but I dutifully go2 times a week and do my exercises every day. Accually I feel better than I have in 15 years or so. They found that L-4 was broken in half and glued it back together.

    I came apart at about age 64. As a youngster in my late 20's and early 30's I could pick up a 327 small block short block from the floor and put it on a work bench. My Doctor said thats probbly the reason for the back surgery !!!!!!!!!!!! I guess your past always catches up with you

    Thanks for all of you guys concern
