Re: just do it
yes, but you start threads about stuff like this, and thought you probably would, as for mine, its been over a year now, but i am trying to get up the enthusiasm to put it back together, i didn't even look at this website for 2-3 months probably

Re: just do it
Glad to hear that you will be able to drive your truck again. Its an awesome looking truck too. I know exactly what you mean about it sitting for awhile needing to get something done.
