WooHoo!!! 
Great video Keith! You gave a great interview. And the truck looks better in this video than in others I've seen. Maybe it's the bright sunlight... I don't know, but she really looks sharp.
Thanks for the link.

Great interview Keith!
I've seen tones of pictures, but I was still marveling at how nice the truck looks.

Hi Guys!
One more thing crossed off the final to-do-list!
My Y-pipes were trashed - rusted & full of holes. I brought it to a local muffler shop and they replaced the pipes and put on needed hangers.
While it was on the lift I asked if they could fix my broken lower shock mount. When I removed the shocks years ago the rusted tread broke off leaving a small stub. There wasn't enough thread to be able to get a nut on. They cut off the thread and welded on a new 1/2" thread on. So now I can put some shocks back on although I don't know how much a difference it will make. The original rear shocks are still on so I will be sure to soak them with a lubricant or maybe even heat them up a little before I try to remove them. Here are the pics:
They made a small heat shield for the oil pan.
New hangers.
Broken shock mount.

Awesome. She won't sound like the same truck now.
And ya the shocks wont make much difference for as
much and the way you use her. But its keeping to
originality.
The heat shield was a great add on.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Keith.

Keith,
I found an interesting photo in one of my "stacks of stuff" a day or two ago . . . You've probably seen it, but maybe not - so here it is:
Is that your truck in the rear? Looks like a 1950-1952 Buick fire chief's car to help date it. Also, put me down for a book as well.
