What on your truck are you most proud of?
What part or angle or what on your truck gives you the most pride? Is it the wheels? A custom touch? That you fixed rust in one area and you can no longer tell? Your LS swap? Your diff cover?
We are all proud of the truck as a whole, but lets just focus on the one thing you would say is your favorite. Post a picture of just the part you always want to talk about when someone is checking out your truck!

For me, it is the dash.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
For me it’s my wheel/stance setup and getting it to sit right where I wanted it static. It’s also what people ask me about most when I’m out and about in the truck.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
On mine it would be the Cheyenne Super emblems combined with the Custom Camper emblems. Making it one of the rarest trucks made in 1972 along with being a K20. also the custom made Dark Olive Houndstooth seat.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
its the whole package.... its a 68k20 a big ugly brute, uncouth lumbering and scarry as chit to those whose rear view mirror are filled with looming doom and destruction that its grill represents. even those who spend 50K on a late model 1 ton dually look on with envy. as well they should. I like it and I like it because of that. I laugh at those hybrids. they're saving the world.... I'm concouring it. it is the most cost effective means of achieving the goals its capable of. nothing come close. except maybe....maybe.... the one that came off the line after it.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
The thing I am most proud of is the fact that I have driven my 71 LWB Super 40 years! Now to pull all the parts out of the attic of the garage to rebuild it. I just hate to tear into it and not be able to drive it. Well I guess I will have to drive my SWB 70 for a while. I will see an old friend for the first time in years and they say ,You still driving that old truck? My response is,Sure am it is just now broke in.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
For me, it's got to be the engine. since retiring I wanted a "W" engine to put into something, plus I wanted my 69 pickup as a daily driver. So I decided to combine the two and have the best of both worlds, I love old school, simpler times.. Nothing like just taking a ride listening to Hank on the 8 track player and listening to the old 58 year old engine purr....

I can't decide what I'm most proud of, I just recently got the stance where I want it, bagged and slammed, with intensive frame work. I'll be proud of the body and paint when I get it done. The souped up small block that has been running strong since 2007, my first engine build, guess I did it right. Maybe the most important thing is that it was my first car. Had it since I was 15. |

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
The fact that this rig was yarded out of a field almost 10 years ago by me and a buddy and we got it running and drove it home an hour and a half. It had been sitting there for 15 years. We took a floor jack, an air pump, battery, 5 gallons of gas, some tools, some extra spark plug wires and a weed eater (to clear out all the grass and brush) and made it happen. There was 2 inches of rat crap on the engine!
Forward... After the first rebuild, I drove it around for a number of years. Then 4 years ago the ol' heap met a ditch and the process started all over again. It's running again and is slowly getting more and more driveable. It's now lower, meaner, louder, snottier, and really makes people take a second look. Because you hear it before you see it. It sets off car alarms in parking lots as it idles through. It took 4 years to get it back on the road from the wreck. All the work that's been done isn't visible when you first lay eyes on it, and it still look like a beat up old truck. And THAT is what does it for me.  Gary

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
Guys this is great and EXACTLY what I had in mind! Keep the posts coming.
I am sure it will inspire others to think about the details on their trucks.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
Ok then, This is my engine I painted a couple weeks ago in my 72 K5 Blazer. Just the fact it only took a few hours and looks so much better. Cost me about $15 bucks.

The fact that I flew in to buy it and it drove my home 1,700 miles without a hick up.

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
My gas cap. Why?
- Because it's a metaphor for my entire build's goal: It was rough but original and came out like new. - Because I did it myself using a method I stumbled across - And it turned out better than I'd hoped!

Re: What on your truck are you most proud of?
My LS swap. 6.0 LQ4 with a re-pinned harness and stock fuel injection. Young guys can't figure out how a old guy like me can figure it out..
