I love it!!!

The side pipes are looking mighty cool! Reminds me of my youth when people use to run with those all the time! GREAT job, and something to be proud of, for sure!
Now, how 'bout more pictures? Under the hood, inside the cab~ you know.

I love the look of this truck. If anything could get me from "stock" this would be it! The color is just perfect. The stance is great! and the rims are great.

Great Job!!

Well done bob, i like the color also, something different and it sure sounds healthy enough, to spin the tires occasionally

[coonkka]

[bobcrosby02]

Forgot to attach a pic of the engine. Coonkka, The side pipes came from summit and are attached to hooker headers. I will get you some info on the interior asap.

Guys - that looks terrific! Congratulations and you only had about 8 posts at the start of this thread, so you must have a pretty knowledgeable and resourceful team there. Now you and your dad get out there for a nice road trip together and enjoy. I am GREEN with envy!

Seriously~ 12 months! Mines been apart for 7 YEARS and it still doesn't have the fenders back on. Even when it is all back together, it won't look anywhere near that slick!
So, I'm waiting for a "ride along" video...

 

[bobcrosby02]

Zig, Unfortunately, I live in Northern Indiana and the weather isn't conducive to a test ride video yet. When the weather is appropriate, I will post one.
