Well here she is, she took us all winter long to do evenings and Saturdays mostly, I took a month of leave too (I'm active duty AF) we took her down to the bare frame, sandblasted every inch of her and started back from scratch. If it hadnt been for my buddy Dan West it would not have turned out nearly this good, shes straight as a pin thanks to his keen eye and expert ability.
Shes a 3/4 ton but big girls need love too, right? I had the rear leaves dearched so she would sit level, then I cut a coil out of the front to rake her a little. I used an LMC Blazer tank kit and a sidemarker light filler, It was my first, and there probably wont be another for a while, this hobby is too damn expensive! Addictive, yes, but so is fishing and its much cheaper! Let me know what yoo think!

Very nice truck -I really like that blue color. Now, it was worth all the work, wasn't it? You're right, this thing is expensive, but it sure is fun. Now drive the heck out of here!

Get 'em started young.

By the way that's some beautiful Jayhawk blue paint on her. Maybe add a little Crimson interior and she'll be nice enough to drive through Lawrence.

Seriously though, nice work. She's a beauty.
