Looks great Thomas! That is the cab-bed configuration I wish I would've bought.

8' beds sure are handy but its hard to beat the looks of a short bed! I truly believe Thomas has one of the best looking trucks on here. CCSB, clean lines, and those 285s just work well together. And im not just saying that (hope Im not stepping on any toes).


Geesh why is RRE coming so quick!!! 3 weeks from today boys!!!


But like the title says...

Make it bigger you say? Lol. Jk. Honestly the truck looks pretty much just like it did the day I bought it. The hood and tailgate is the most I've don't to it body wise.

The tailpipe needs to be twisted so the tip is up closer to the bedside and still pointed at a very slight downward angle. I hate when a tailpipe hangs too low. Lol

I'll have to tweak that when I get home.

Thank you all for the compliments! I know its not perfect but it's 99% rust free which is the important thing!

Hope everyone has a good weekend. In Iowa this weekend visiting family. Just nice to get away for a weekend.

Well, gotta make one last trip to NC this weekend to get all the pre-employment crap done for the new job. I'm suppose to start July 20. Got a list of stuff I would like to do to the truck before I pull the camper down, but it's not gonna happen. Not gonna be any truck stuff happening for quite a while I'm afraid. Just the maintenance stuff that needs done, and that's it until I get back on my feet again.

That means you can make RRE then! Just kidding, that would be a big detour! Good luck Bill, I'll be thinking about you.
