New here, Hello from Amarillo!

Hi, my name is Bill, I live in Amarillo Texas. I own an 83 and a 84 d150 swb trucks. The 83 is a parts truck, but kept under roof. the 84 is an ex slant six truck that I am currently converting to a 440/727. All I lack is a power steering pump mount, and I will have the engine ready. If anybody has a template for one, I could fabricate it.
I work as a petrochemical transport truck and trailer technician/ fabricator for a local trucking company. We haul everything from gasoline and diesel to propane, anhydrous, and oil and gas field crude and by-products. Some of it is really volitile stuff. so far, I havent "played astronaut" at work, so I am here to write about it, LOL.
I also play with XS 650 Yamahas.

Bill
