    Made me realize I haven't taken a decent picture of my truck since I swapped the diesel in (almost 3 years ago).

    Here's some of the 86 I had. Note the custom body work.
    Thankfully no one was hurt.

    No didn't take any of the exhaust, but if you look closely you can see the headers and I put flowmasters on them and went all the way out the back .
    Right under the bumper, I had them dumped at first but, it was a little too loud inside the cab and too much vibartion. Still sounds pretty sweet, everytime I'm at a red light people are staring and some of them have even
    given me a thumbs up. I like it when I pull up next to someone with a boom box{alot of bass}in they're car and they look at me because my truck is thumping harder!!!LOL!! Gonna try to go to some small shows around town
    and show it off. How is yours going?

    Here's how that one ended:

    And here's my current truck, a 78 c20. it's been totally redone except for the drivetrain which will be coming soon.

    not sure but i think i see a lil bit of a resemblence to the red truck up the page chevyrado lol. i thought rollover was something you taught your dog, not your truck. ouch lol. seriously though i hope no one was injured in either truck and sorry to see it happen to them. they were some nice rides

    Thanks TC.... it needs work.... but then again what 22 yr old truck doesn't. that's half the fun working on them sometimes. My plans are to do a total restoration on the truck some day of course with some personal touches. I personally love the lifted look. So I am in the process of ordering a 4" kit for the truck..... i literally don't have spring bushings in the front.. well a little bit of them are left :(

    thanks again
    Mike
