Nawww. I'm not thinking of the '70. Main reason is that I can't seem to think at all these days...about anything...It's hot. And I'm old. And my truck is in jail.

Your grille looks very nice.

MY grille looks like this (right) now.

:waah:

Thanks. I can sorta relate to not being able to drive your truck. Mine has been down of over two weeks, while I've been sorting out the brakes. Won't be able to finish it (crossing my fingers) until Friday. I'm starting to develop a tick, almost like when I'm on a business trip and don't have my woman lol.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I ordered some parts I have wanted but really didn't need and then I found some parts I might really need but now will have to come up with more money!

It's a process.....

:lol:

As for me, I decided to change out RAT's plates. She'll always be RAT to me. But, since she's in the paint jail waiting for silver, I decided to gowith this plate.
I ordered it. It'll look pretty close to this.

Of course, it's a play on The Lone Ranger deal.
