Well at least you guys get to drive your trucks. Mine's in pieces still. I've been jones'en for mine too. I've never driven it and I want to get it built so I can drive it.

We had snow after Thanksgiving,then it warmed up and rained enough to wash the roads.So,I drove my two drivers about a month until last Wednesday.It snowed Thursday and it`s cold now.They may be parked awhile now.

I know how it feels to be building one you never got to drive. I sure wish my bodyman would get in gear and paint it. He keeps his plate full to overflowing. If I have to wait much longer (almost 6 yrs total building so far) I am very tempted to go get it, finish the wiring and a few other loose ends. Bolt on the bed and drive it as is. I sure don't like having to wait on someone else to get something done before I can move forward.

I finally decided to buy a battery for mine - it was always a headache to get it started, using a jump box, charging battery overnight. Never give it a thought the battery was bad. Soooo, put in a new one and it fired before I finished turning the key! I drove it friday saturday and sunday running to the hardware store and grocery store, etc, etc. Even to get breakfast for the family sunday morning. Tweaked the dizzy a little between stops and when it was running nicely, took it up on the highway - hit 75 and reallllyyyy wanted to shift into 4th... it's only 3 on the tree. I ran a few miles and got off at my exit - it was awesome! I think it was some time Monday the smile wore off.
