Nick's truck is so cool. Looks right and sits right with 460 beast power. What's not to love? Definitely calendar worthy. Congrats, Nick!

That's a great truck. Just hearing Nick starting it up is an experience in itself.

Congrats Nick!

I still recall the video taken when the Truckstock guys that year drove by Abe's house. Everybody just casually cruising by, then Nick's truck shakes the ground as he rumbles past the camera. Still puts a smile on my face.

I loved listening to all the trucks pass. Flatheads, Y-Blocks, Straight 6, then you get Nick thumping buy and the Detroit Diesel getting wound up.
I just smiled and giggled the whole video.

I agree. I was thinking the same thing. You could even hear the whine of Jim's and Bob's straight cut gears.

Beautiful music, each one a wonderful instrument when put together making a great symphony.
