You do at least on this forum. The only threads ahead of you now are the vin cutoff thread and the let's see your truck right now thread. And it's no surprise with all the great work, fantastic stories, and lots of very cool pictures.

I was afraid that after you got the truck completed this thread would fade away. I'm so pleased that it hasn't. Keep posting away with your history and pictures. We love it.

Thanks Joe! This thread was started about mid-way in the restoration. I was thinking of posting some photos of earlier restoration work.
