Ride of the week! (NO COOTIE-BOB HERE)!

WOW!

I was really surprised to find out that I'd been chosen for ride of the week. I guess this is the only way you guys will see the old BBW as I'm not taking it to TENN.

This picture was taken for the stickied thread on suspensions for its stock stance. This was a year ago January after a fresh snow fall. The first time in maybe its entire 48+ years it was in snow as it was from Southern California.

I have owned this truck for 19 years as of Feburary 2

A BIG Thankyou! to FTE for a wonderful site and thanks for choosing my truck for ROTW!

That's pretty cool, Kevin. I liked that photo a lot the first time I saw it, and the truck is really a pleasure to look at in your gallery.

Now, if they would only start a "Rolling Chassis Of The Week" for those of us on the 10-year plan ...
