Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window

Hi Glen! Long time no talk.

Yeah, it really has become a different build. I'm excited as hell about the truck I will end up with. It'll be what I've always wanted. But in truth a part of me also really loved it when it looked like my avatar....though I truly didn't enjoy the way it drove.

What kicked this off was me going to a truly excellent shop, seeing all the projects in his shop, my approaching retirement and the need for a daily - and NOT wanting to end up with a generic Honda or Toyota, and finally my mom's passing and the realization life is short.

I'm not going with the deluxe trim but I may go with the chrome lock strip on the front and rear windows. Thanks for the head's up on the photos I'll go back through and make repairs IF I can.
