There's another set of 325mm wide Duratrac tracks in the snow in your parking spot lol. All the rep points (that I can't give) to you sir.

Yeah, I'm super stoked for you Gavin.....that is a really nice truck!
Oh, and Trent, I was able to rep Darren for you.
Looks like I finally spread enough to start making the rounds again......kind of like the pixie dust spreader off the Tilt-O-Whirl.

Sorry, I've been holding off until I get a better idea of what shape the tuck is in. It's a resto that started in 1993, it was just finished last year, mostly the lift, OMG it's tall. I had a buddy of mine stop by today to look at the truck and he gave me the thumbs up on a couple of issues that were still nagging me. Let's back up a minute, I got it home Saturday night about 6pm and spent the next 5 hour going over the truck finding things that I thought looked really bad to me. I got so upset I almost puked. I had a chance on Sunday to really take a closer look at the truck to see what I really had. It's not an in tact truck, it's a very good Heinz 57. The cab is from a '71 F350 that was Wimbledon white and had a 360. The truck has a 390, running gear from a '76, rear springs from a dually and steering gear box from a '79. All of the sheet metal is rot free, with no patch panels. I had no idea this would be so overwhelming. That's why I waited 'til now. My stress level this past 5 days has been really bad.
I do feel better now.
Here is the bad news, I know it looks cool, but the lift has got to go, sorry guys. I want to be able to climb into it without bending the steering column and pulling a hammy.
This a good friend on mine who I have known since 5th grade, I made him get out of bed Saturday morning at 4am so we could be in Eldon, MO at 10:30 am.
Those are 38.5s
Now I just need Darren's winch!
The best part, my wife loves it and has already named it "Old Blue"
This is all thanks to John! I owe you buddy.
