You will get lots of attention with either truck. Even though my truck is a long way from finished, it has drawn more comments & questions at shows and cruise-ins than I ever got with previously owned cars that were what I called my garage queens.

Funniest thing happened today,1st time closing the hood since I got the engine running,couldn't close the darn hood, the front hood hinge was hitting the neck of the radiator , back to the drawing board! ! extend and re-locate the front hinge, now the hood closes, I guess that happens when everything is modified and homeade!!
