Re: Project 78 High Sierra

the HD vent you have is all heavy duty. Of coarse, you do have the High sierra, thats like having one of Big tens like the camper special, cheyenne or custom deluxe,there the hd C10 because there made more in the C20 model. More common submodels for C10s were the silverado, custom, and the scottsdale submodel.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Maybe you can put it on as part of your training, you know, like that one Rocky movie where he went to Russia and was picking up logs and stuff??
