Thanks for your compliments, but I have messed up quite a few times but maybe changing the truck after you get it driveable is what this process is all about. When my gmc is down for a few days for mods I really miss it.....I really like driving it every day.....it makes a dull drive into a lot of fun.
I am 61 and it has been a few years since young girls have looked at me all smiles and asked me to roll my window down and they say Oh, we just love your truck !! Kind of makes an old mans day.......!!!!!

Funnier still is the lack of knowledge which comes from the young guys, they like the truck, but do not know enough about them to say nice 66 instead they say nice classic ??

Oh well not enough 2 parent familys around to educate their sons.....

Going out to finish the tonneau install......good way to spend a nice Sunday morning. Kieth
