Only on TV can they do a complete rebuild, fire it up and drive it off with out a problem. But then the first few miles after a long build shouldn't count, it is hard to see anything passed the big grin!!

The interior looks nice! The fold up rear seats gives you a ton of floor space. Well done buddy!

Randle, isnt that the truth. If I would have known that I couldnt have completed this build in one hour long episode I would have never started this thing, They tricked me again...

Man, look at that color in the Sun. Frickin' AWESOME. And the whole rig. If I were you I'd sure be all puffy chested driving it down Main Street U.S.A. You're gonna give a whole lot of people whiplash after they do a "Coca Cola Double Take". Congrats my friend.

Thanks boys, much appreciated. drove the truck to slc a couple times just going for more brake in miles.... It for sure gets some attention. People off the street are coming into work and checking it out lots of thumbs up and picture taking on the highways... Think Im going to take it the weekend for a small road trip and see how she does...

The Eyes (and Ayes) Have It!

Love it.

With as many gawkers, thumbs uppers and new conversationists I still encounter with Bessie and her 20-footer "barn paint job", I'm sure you'll be "inconvenienced" in a good way with folks wanting to talk. Way cool. :-)

Love that stance... Superman has nothing on your ride amigo. Feet apart, Hands on hips, chest out, eyes straight ahead, it just says "Do not Mess with me. You should lead the parade on Memorial Day.

Thanks buddy.... I dont think so, I kinda feel if they cant figure it out then they dont need to know... When we got home from the trip I felt a little more comfortable, and maybe gave it the onion a little. third gear pull and the street was blacked out I gave her about half throttle and let off when I felt the rear tires break loose, safe to say I think its gonna have plenty of that *** pucker feeling....

HAHA thats awesome, I can see my shop now, Ide have all the cool tools. the only problem I would have is 5 years is a lot of episodes for one build lol

Just wanted to say thank you to all you fellers, One hell of a good group of guys. Im proud to be apart of it....

the first picture of this truck is the night I bought it and brought it home. We pulled into a gas station at the bottom of hwy 6 to air my air bags up and took a picture of the truck. Stopped at the same place to take a picture of the truck now... seems most fitting to post it...

If I remember correctly you have mentioned how you sold the truck that was pulling the trailer in that pic. Too bad. Would have been a GREAT pic of your Crew pulling IT on a trailer at that same spot!!!!! Hmm. You still in contact with it's current owner?
