Black 95 project

[Required]

My “Bed Rug” or what I thought was one has wood backing on the sides and tailgate. Thick foam hemmed carpet on the floor. I thought about removing the ARE tonneau and rug but it’s coming in handy for storing chairs and wash wax stuff. I’m sure it helps with noise as well.

Much cleaner. Cover all adjusted, seals pefect and opens smooth.

First time this truck has been washed in over 15 years. Time to put it in the garage out of the weather.

On the 3rd of July 1993 I bought this truck. It was used with 1100 miles. Guy had it one month, traded it in because he couldn't believe the gas milage. Lol

The red one?

 

[glenbartley]

Yep im the second owner, been 30 years. The dealer thought it was a XLT Lariat. Got it for $20k and they gave me exactly what i paid for my 1992 6cyl in trade ($11,800). It was a tiny dealer in WV, wasn't a SVT dealer. There were only 2 SVT dealers in Va at the time i think purvis in fredericksburg and a dealer in Blacksburg. Both wanted $27k plus

Joined sal on the bulletin board that week. Then he moved NLOC to AOL. I was originally member #36 I think?

Why is it in pieces?

 

[glenbartley]

After 280k Miles I was going to put in a 393 stroker with AFR heads. Around 2008 I had a whole bunch of stuff happen and it sat. Then we moved, had kids ect ect.

After I finish the black truck I'm going to take this one down to the frame and start back the way I want it.

I have parts of this truck everywhere across 2 garages. But I made space and it will be ok till I retire in a couple years. Then I'll start paint and body work.

Much better. More fun times in this truck than I can remember. 24yo when I bought it. Lol

That's a wild aspect, how old I was when I got my first one, and how long I've known some of the people here!

 

[glenbartley]

Yea its crazy this club is over 30yo And some of us have been around for a lot or almost all of that. 1000's of conversations, millions spent on trucks and parts.

I was here in 2003 and used all the info to put a V1 kit together. Back then I had a black 93. Some years later here I am again this time with a red 93.

I often wonder what kind of "influencer" deals I could've gotten if that was a thing in 1996-2006.

Never too late to become a creator. Even if it’s just a sponsorship deal with Colonial Penn

 

[glenbartley]

There's always an opportunity. A guy I watch got sponsorship from artilian tractor attachments when he had less than 700 followers.

I watch a lot of jj's stuff. He did a really good job with his videos on the lightning supercharger install.

Put everything away before the storm hits. I put some shop towls down on the mustang top. Got a tiny rear main leak.

Stay safe!

 

[glenbartley]

I don't think it's going to be too bad. But I have a ton of crappy pines. Those fall on nice days.

 

[glenbartley]

Watched one fall this morning. My property was timbered around 1995. They planted a whole bunch of crappy cheap pine that met requirements but grow 90ft tall and 4 inches across with no roots. Iv been planting oaks and maples for years. Squirles are helping spread walnuts. Lol

How can I tell when I joined the club? I go my 95 in Dec of 2000 but a buddy had a 95 in 96 so may have been around then.
