i got a couple of friends in the slo4wheelers.
i've haven't heard of the 'solid rock wheelers'. tell me when and where they meet and you might see me at a meeting. 8)
my 83 was bone-stock with a blown motor when i bought it from a construction guy in nipomo. it's a fun(and expensive) process transforming a stock truck into a capable rig.
i'll spread the word about your flattie.
happy trails
