Congrats John, your truck and your build story are what brought me to FTE in 2010. It’s been a long road for you but it looks like it was definitely worth it. Beautiful truck!

Looking good John! Make room in your trophy case 'cause I'm sure that is just the beginning. Great job! Are you ready to pull that front suspension and go back to the Volare clip? HA HA! Enjoy, Steve

Hey John,
I hope you parked it inside tonight...
Scary weather through the South tonight.
I really like that you made it yourself & it's just exactly how you like it.

Beautiful truck! Love those yellow trucks! Congrats on the trophy. My truck being in the shop getting the Mustang II suspension installed wasn't bothering me too bad till I saw the pics of your truck.

Congratulations John! Yours was a legendary build on the forum that many of us have enjoyed for years. Thanks for all the great stories and documentation along the way. As you make the transition from the "spend and install" to the "drive and enjoy" phase of your long term truck relationship, I wish you all the best. Enjoy the ride!

Jim
