BIG DAY TODAY!!!!!!! pictures..

Today was the first day in over a year and a half that I took the truck out of the garage. I never got to drive the truck even before I bought it and today I got to drive it down the road.. It was so cool to finally see all the hard work and time spent pay off. The neighbors all came out and even took videos with their phones.

Truck ran great but I still have lots of work to get done on it. I also burnt an airline on the headers but it was cool to be able to air it up and down for the first time.

Just wanted to share my excitement with ya..

It looks cool out in the daylight too! Hard to believe, but it's been almost 2 years since I last drove mine.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Yes they are but I tucked them in to far so I added the flashlights to go with it.

Thanks!!!
Mine pretty much sat on the jackstands shortly after the day I got it. I never even tried out the air ride till yesterday and prayed it worked.. My next days off are Wednesday and Thursday so you know where I will be. Slamfest is the end of this month and hope to make that my first ever show. Then its the Pumpkin Run and the one I have been trying for, the Daytona Turkey Rod Run...

Congrats man! I remember the first day I got my C10 on the street, did a burnout right infront of my house too! I really love your truck, very creative and different.

Dodge Ram 20" spare steel wheels. Kinda hard to locate four of them but I really like the look and I wanted steel wheels for this truck, not aluminum.
