I just really find it hard to believe that if ya had to repair anything on the stock truck that ya could leave it stock. After seeing the craftsmanship Ya have put into 1st Ride
how could ya keep from making any repair just a tad bit better.

I know I couldn't. I would say to self. "Self it is only original once" and like the fresh gas I just put in blew that. So it needs brake work. I just could not put a single res master back on. If the original need replaced It would get at least a duel. Maybe not power, but a duel. Than seat belts, And radials and and ........

But that's just me

 

Beautiful woodwork! That is some serious talent.

 

That woodwork would look awesome in a bed floor, JMHO

 

Denny .... awesome work! I will have to check out your truck the next time I am up in your neck of the woods.

 

Yes it is hard to change then mind set and not go to the stainless cabinet for fasteners , polish this part , try to find part in stainless or should I chrome this or not . Actually much easier to build the stock truck . Just plug & play .

 

Yes ,that would be Bad A$$ . Awesome idea for a strictly show truck . Always inside with not a chance of getting caught in the rain . I plan on driving the 1ST-RIDE alot !! Living in S.Fla. it can rain in a heart beat . That is why the ash bed boards were finished like they were w/ Alphatic Urethane . Almost bullet proof and UV resistant .

 

Keith , don't feel like you owe me a visit .If you know you will be up this way some time just call me in advance & I will dust off the art & rid the exhaust of any homesteading insects (JJ ) Later, Denny

 

Sounds good .... will do Denny!

 

Just stay the Hell away from the water Keith. They got them really big lizard looking things down there.
