How are you trying to post your pics? Right from your computer or from a photo hosting site?

Sorry YJ, kinda forgot about this thread. I was trying to post direct from my computer, think I need some help.

Anyway, my cars are a 57 Chevy 210 2 door sedan. Just at the end of a 5 year & too many £££££££££'s rebuild. 383,500bhp, mini tubbed & a few other cool mods.

Also just picked up a 91 Fox Mustang 5.0 GT, to replace the wheezy 87 2.3 Fox.

I'll hopefully figure out how to post some pics.

I know I've posted my F-150 here before, but here it is again.

'94 F-150 XLT 4x4, 5.0/Auto 110k. Getting ready for paint now.

And the truck that was sacrificed for the '94. '95 F-150 XL 4x2, 4.9/5-spd, 225k. Leaks oil like a sieve and the 4.9 is pretty tired, so that means it still has another 200k left in it!

Next up is Gertie, a '94 Cougar XR7 with 49k. 4.6/Auto so it runs like a Mustang of the same era. Handles good and gets 23 MPG. Technically still my grandma's, I'm trying to convince her to just sell it to me. I only use it for commuting to school and back.

I didn't want to load up one post with my junk, so I used two!

Next up is Li'l Bruiser. '85 F-250 4x4, 460/4-spd, just over 30k original miles! I'm the 2nd owner, and it was converted to a dump when it was almost new. From what I've read, Thiele industries in Windber, PA is no longer in business as of 2008, and I imagine they didn't make too many of these beds.

And last is a truck that is very special to me. It belonged to my dad, and since we can't keep his Peterbilt, we're keeping this. '01 Ram 2500, Cummins/Auto, 77k. It has a Banks exhaust that dad put on, and since my brother and I couldn't leave well enough alone, we added Isspro EV2 pillar gauges and an AirDog 165 lift pump. It is more of a toy than anything, and I do use it for towing. I love hotrod diesels, but this will never be one. All the mods being done are in the name of longevity and improving stock components.

Another special truck to me is Pearl, my '77 F-250 4x4. Right now I'm building upa mild 400 (original 400 got replaced by a 351M in the mid '80's) for it along with rebuilding the original C6 auto. Dad bought it new in '77 and it is a WIP. I don't have that many pics, since it's been in pieces for the last 5 years. This is from July of '77.

Sorry highway, but a buddy of mine beat ya to it lol. And for being a Texas gate, it had a few rust issues. It needed about a 1/2" strip welded across the bottom lip the whole width of it. I guess all the moisture that collected there above the seam did its damage.

Oh darn!! :D
