I am the greatest. Nobody is better looking, smarter or more pleasant to be around than I am. Lesser beings hang on my every word hoping to glean some nugget of my vast wisdom so that they may pull themselves from the depths of ignorance. I don't have any need for air freshener in my bathroom because my stuff doesn't stink.

The above message was only a test to see how many of you actually read these things.

In case you were wondering what sort of pick-up I own, there are actually two in my collection. In 2005, I bought a 1969 Dodge D-200 out of California. This truck is a driver that I hope to get time to restore before I tip over from old age. In 2006 I moved from Arizona to North Dakota. After I got settled in here, I started looking online for restoration parts. That is how I stumbled upon my next purchase, a 1970 D-100 in VERY nice condition.

I have done nothing to this truck except keep it clean and maintained. It is still wearing it's factory paint (with a few minor touch-ups), factory glass and original interior. The guy I bought it from had replaced the original 318 with a slightly modified 340. The original radio was replaced with an AM-FM unit that looks like it may have been robbed from a Ford. The truck only has 76,000 total miles on it.
 
Here is a little peek into my toy box. It is a 40' by 60' man cave that serves to protect the car, trucks, bike, quad and trailers from the extreme weather here in the frozen tundra.

I really enjoy having the space to do a little work on things. My only regret is that it is not heated or insulated (yet). This photo was taken right after I had finished stripping out a 1971 D-100 that was in pretty bad shape. It had been used as a farm truck and showed it.
 
Thank you for gracing us with your presences and yes we do read these .
 
Hello again to a different site. That was a little more humorous than on FCBO! How did you know we'd appreciate that? Again, nice fleet.
 
A little humor is always appreciated, especially something like that which may take a minute or two to come up with.
So, greetings and welcome.
Mike
 
I don't know how I missed this thread before, sharp looking truck. What's lurking under the truck on the hoist? Looks like a C-body
 
The 40x60 at least retards the artic breezes and feet of snow. No mention of a snowmobile what with that?

Good eye! That is my 1970 Chrysler Newport 2-dr hardtop with less than 1000 total miles on it since new.

I have never taken any sharp blows to the head that would make me dumb enough to want to jump on an open machine and go fast through a blizzard. Did it one time in my teens, never again.

Surprised know one has ever never put a cab on one. Build a little wider with a normal seat. That would be called a half track. Allready done.

Can wouldn't allow you to hang off the sides to man handle the machine.

Elvis had the company convert it so he could use it around Graceland, they called it a grassmobile.
