Finally Got It Painted!

After thinking and talking about it for about 10 years, it is painted and terrorizing the streets of Regina again. I made some changes that were bugging me like bringing in the bumper an inch and a half, straightening previously crooked welding on the the shortened running boards, filling the gap between the roll pan and the stake pockets to name a few things.

man, just when my inspiration on my truck, was reaching it's all-time low, not enough time or money, and way too much going on personally, I see this!! Wow, seeing that just re-gapped my points, and sparked my plugs!!

Guess I'll go over to the shop, and turn a few wrenches...thanks!!!
