First Show, First Trophy :)

Truth in Advertising... I was the ONLY truck in the Class....

FIRST TROPHY FOR MATER!!!!! BEST IN CLASS!!!! WoooHoooo




TRANSMISSION...
I found a 9" Ford rear end,, next project is to swap it out... BUT, I'm not convinced that the Transmission is still not the problem. We've had the tranny out twice to look at it. SO if anyone has a 53 3 speed tranny they would be willing to part with, please PM me.

Do I REALLY have to tell everyone I was the only truck in the class?????

One might say that you had the only truck with class.

Don't look at it as the only one in it's class, look at as a "One of a Kind".

That sounds better, doesn't it?

And I agree with the others, looks like a winner, and a win is a win.

Hey, I once (no actually it was twice) took 3rd place out of 3 trucks... And I had to compete in the open class, pickup trucks up to 2010- 2 wheel drive because I did not have antique or classic tags...

Not at all. You were by far and away the best truck in your class, and you deserved the win. Congratulations!
