The Florence/ Muscle Shoals area. It is in the northwest corner of Alabama. It will be good to get back home.

Cab is looking sweet. Good luck on your move.

You and all the other guys need to move up here to Oregon so we can hang out and cruize.

Thank you Chad. We have been in the Atlanta area for nine years and really want to get back to country life. Good luck with your move and the new job.

Thanks Greg.
I always thought it would be cool to live on the west coast. With all the hunting and fishing to do in Oregon I would never get my son out of the woods. Lol

Good luck with the move. We're also looking to relocate back a little closer to our families. Eyeing TN, but not 100% sure where we'll end up. Pretty much depends on job opportunities at this point. Wherever it may be, we plan on making the next stop permanent. :lol:

Dang Greg, Sorry to hear y'all are moving. "There's no place like home" (click-click) for sure so I know it's a good thing for you and the Family. We'll talk soon.

I agree on the permanent move. Hoping this will be our last move. Check out Huntsville it is growing like crazy. It's not home but it is a lot closer.

Picked up an accelerator pedal out of '03 Tahoe and started modifying it to work with my original pedal. The rod still needs to be welded in place and then a coat of paint. It feels good to be working on the old truck again.

Looks like i got the cart before the horse. Here are a few pictures of the little ls engine installed with my helper driving. We are going Saturday to look at a few more 5.3/4l60e combos before deciding which one to go with.

Yeah I guess so.

It's a lot easier to store when it is kinda put together.

Being back home is a slower pace of life but that fine with me.

After deciding on a location for the accelerator pedal it looks like I have a few more holes to fill on the firewall. I knew I should have let Alan weld those up.
