Where's the pics of this new owner you brag of??

Pics are a'comin'. The truck played a big part in the photo/video shoot after the ceremony, so there will be plenty o' media in the days to come-just waiting on processing/editing :waah:

I used Monroe-Matic 32301 rear/33033 front. The others were trash, so that's where I put them...

Your speed is inspiring. IM putting mine together right now. Not that fast though. Do you have a 9-5 job? I cant imagine you do. You have to do something that gives you a few days of free time.. If you do, thats an even BIGGER feat. Congrats on the truck and new life man. You deserve it.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Let me just say that the faux-tina on this truck is really good.
I stepped out the door at work and there it was, yeah in oklahoma.
Awsome looking even up close.

I was only able to sustain that level of effort for a short while working towards getting it ready for the wedding. I can tell you honestly that everything else suffered because of it, but having it here makes it all worth-while; keep doing a little bit at a time and you will get yours done. Now, for me, it's back to 'normal', well, after the honeymoon :D

Man every time I look at your build it makes me want to get motivated. You moved so fast on this truck I'm embarrassed of how slow I am. I've been milking mine for almost years now......ouch
can't wait for the pictures! Congratulations!

Try LIFETIME wood treatment. You'll find it at Schroeders log home supply.

I will check into that- it has started to get a nice patina from just sun and rain...

Thanks all! :D I think the truck is just a cool prop- the real centerpiece is in the dress- waiting on the photographer to get back to us with the 'good stuff'- this was just a preview...

Very true. The real centerpiece is the model inside of the dress. Nice, tasteful, 'playful' poses. The photog did some nice shots!
