I know that is has been done and my truck is a good donor but i'm wondering how much a solid body will go for if I can find one. I would prefer the old worn paint as I'd probably jus clear coat it. Let me know what you guys think and w...

Life just gets better as you get older doesn't it. I was in a Starbucks Coffee shop recently when my stomach started rumbling and I realized that I desperately needed to fart.

One Night at the bar
I was at the bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking at the bar. Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked, "Hello, are you three lassies from Scotland?"
One of them angrily screeched, "It's Wales, Wales you bl...
This is not hot rod related but I am getting desperate, I just can't take it anymore. I am looking for an HVAC Controller for my wife's '04 Yukon, it is the dual zone climate control type.
