Same truck; New pics
Finally washed the truck this week. Poor thing hadn't seen a wash rag in over 2 months...
Anyway, I found a nice quiet place near my house to take some pictures I hope you all enjoy. Out of the 40 picutres I took, these 4 were the ones I liked. Also, more on this truck to come. There should be alot happening with it in the next few months...

Re: Same truck; New pics
The truck looks excellent. The last pic is my favorite.
What's new on the agenda? Air ride? LSx power?.......?

Re: Same truck; New pics
Meh, gonna shave this and tweak that...
LSX swap is out. Had to sell the donor that I had. California Air Resources Board = teh suck... I'm working out some parts and details right now, seeing what I can get to work. I'll stop being a dam tease in about a week or so. You guys can look forward to some NOS parts, and some serious clean-up on the body.

Re: Same truck; New pics
Oh yeah, keep a look out for something else; Another board member and I have plotted together to bring you guys a serious stereo system write-up that will not require cutting.
I'll show you guys step-by-step instructions on how to build an awesome stereo and not have to keep how much you spent a secret from your wife.

Re: Same truck; New pics
The last shot is awesome! I too will be watching for the audio write up. I got nothin' for tunes, not even wires there for what used to be a radio. (Why didn't the Forest Service get their guys radios in 86? )

Re: Same truck; New pics
Good news everyone! Someone hit my truck and took out the rear bumper while I was at work today! And didn't leave me a love note. Bastard just hit it and quit it.
It'll all work out though; my job has HD security cameras that can get the plate # of the car/truck that did it. I WILL have the last laugh...

Re: Same truck; New pics
Man, this thread got WAY more exciting once I added the term "Hit and Run"
Damage is way worse than I forst thought. The bumper, brackets, and covers will need to all be replaced, and the rocker panel needs to be repaired as well thanks to the bumper being shifted to the driver's side and the bracket cover getting to know the body a little too well... Police report has been filed. This person WILL be brought to justice. On a lighter note, more updates still to come. Waiting on something from a gentleman out in Arkansas before I post up my evil plot to take over the wor..., I mean my planned mods for next year...

Too bad about the hit and run. Hope they catch him. Your truck looks awesome; are your tires 275/60? Looks great!
