It's not my favorite color, but it does look good. I saw it or a similar color on a Peterbilt today. I'll look for picks of your speed blue.

Thanks Solo. Unfortunately, I am only able to wrench on the weekends. It's in my pop's garage about an hour away. Too much work and too much soccer during the week. But there's no turning back now.

trying to figure out these pictures. I've noticed my pictures are smaller. I've been uploading from the computer and now I'm trying to link to Picasa.

I've been taking pics, but haven't had a chance to post them. I'm trying to post a few each day. Here, we pulled the engine and got the frame out of the shop.

It's not the fanciest cart, but we made it with stuff we already had... and it spins as easily as an Ikea shopping cart.

Hi Alan,

Some rust, but not bad. Some problems with the cab floor, but thats about it.
I haven't done much over the past few months, but I'll post pics of what I've done. Feel free to offer advice:lol:

Nice truck. I think glenwood green or sea mist green was the OEM color
