Finally took Ol' Red out for a drive!
Bought her last May, started the rebuild in August, and finished it up in December. Record snow, then the rain rain rain came! Today was my first opportunity to get the old girl out of my back garage and on the road for the maiden drive. So far so good, nothing too major to do (fingers crossed).
Here are some pics I took after I gave her a bath and a five mile drive.

Absolutely stunning. Are the specifications, mods, listed anywhere?

Beautiful job Wally. Congratulations on the first drive!
Lucille is a beautiful truck also, but Ol Red matches your house better.

Your truck looks great. I wish we could get some of your rainy weather.

It's crazy how one place has too much rain while another doesn't have enough, wish i could send it your way.
