oh ya and the music in the video really makes me feel like a harda$$, think maybe ill go out in tje middle of a large dry grassy field and lightup now....
Is it time for FTE intervention? Josh don't do it! if not for us, for the children..
You don't have time to stand around in the grassy field! And your wife might not let you keep those freshly painted body panels in the family room anymore.

just a note from ..the other side...I thought it was kinda neet .. it runs an' stops ..sounds good ...and it will have part's I can afford when the "craze" is over ..not many .. but at least it is out and running not lost to "I will get to it ..after !!"..my truck would make most of you walk away ..It gets worse every time I try to fix something ..broken bolts ..rust holes ..widow rims..but they have it on the road ..their way ..just like you did ..your way..

LOL Jeff, That reminds me, I still need to find room in the garage for the painted parts as they are still in the living room. (or better yet just get my rear in gear and bolt them on so I don't have to move them twice)
I'm trying to get rid of some spare parts that are taking up way too much space like a cab top I cut from a rusted up truck in the pick and pull, was going to use it but found a better cab. list goes on and on lol

I like grassy fields as long as its a field full of old trucks...
In fact I like Doc's field, his truck looked perfect in it, (before he chopped it that is)

You got me man! I've been out in L.A. living the life.

I keep forgetting to buy a newspaper. LOL So the fresh green grass and trees will have to prove that I just took this picture on my way home tonight. Remember, I traded for this truck back during the late fall and early winter.

Don't apologize for that. Wasn't my thread to begin with. Dumptrkr posted it and I went postal on it. I need to apologize to him actually.

I'm waiting for the dude in the tight black t-shirt to come interview me about my truck. Doc I hope it's ok if I also use your pic...

Had to laugh last weekend when I was at our local cruise night. A guy showed up with what I'd have to say looked like a rocket vehicle. It had four wheel steering and what looked to be a military diesel engine. Was very unique. Weather was iffy and not many vehicles showed so he had everyone's attention!

People not like us

I disagree with what he says, but not for the reason you may think.
"You cannot, not walk by this thing"
Okay, it is a "thing" but two negatives make a positive so what he is saying is you CAN walk by this thing. So to disagree you would have to say you can not walk by this thing, yes that is correct, you had better run.
It would have made more sense if he'd taken the PS body and put it on the F-5 frame, at least he would have had a more comfortable interior (and a flathead to boot!).
