Well guys, its been 4 long years, and most all have seen the pics of my truck since it has been back on the road (if not, go here). Well, the night before i put the truck in the shop to begin the restoration, I went out and took some pics and this one shot was the main representation of the truck.... well, this weekend i was cruisin by in the truck and pulled off to take the same shot...

i just spent like any hour lookin at your resto site...good stuff there

blaserman · 09-05-2005, 07:47 AM

Man that is one nice ride. You can feel proud about this because you did it right. Just one item I would add is a hidden fuel shutoff some where so no one can hot wire it and drive away. But again GREAD RIDE>
