    Hope I don't get kicked in the nuts here as I've never done an intro., but I really thought y'all would enjoy this. I found these while going through my Grandpa's leathercraft box he gave me. Gotta be from late '57- early '58. Look close at the phone numbers too. At some point Grandpa replaced the stock engine in the truck he bought with a 427. I grew up hearing stories about him racing his cousin to & from camping trips & stuff, mostly loaded down & pulling grades. To top it all off, the drawing of some plans to build his own camper shell. He still has the truck with the 427 in it. I was exited as hell when I found these. Hope you guys like em.

    Neat stuff. Now do your intro! Sort of like the first-day homework assignment. Welcome to the HAMB.
     
  3. Cool! I like it, my '58 is a 118" wheelbase. Now I know about what it cost new. Welcom to the H.A.M.B. Like the man says, do your intro.

    Extra cool! Wonder how much $2268.00 is in '09 $? Paid $18,000 and some change for a nothing fancy, '08 F-150. In mho, pickups are the only new vehicles that don't look like jellybeans on wheels.
