Great work on the truck and great work making it to your 20th anniversary! Some advice for your trip... don't get caught looking in the weeds for trucks or ask if you can visit that cool looking junk yard for just a few minutes! Aloha!

Looks great man, very sharp truck. I'm beginning to get a weak spot for those '48-'50 front ends.
