Re: Square body trucks on car shows

All good with the updates on taking truck to car (shows) to display them... But I think the thread was about our type trucks making it onto TV shows. TV car shows.

Myself, I have mixed feelings. I recently watched Stacy David and Gears episodes where he works on a square body. I'm sure money comes from the suppliers of the parts used, otherwise, probably no TV show. But he's throwing out good parts -- dash pad, instrument bezel -- so it's kinda hard to watch. And putting in tubular upper and lower A-arms and saying that since the 3 inch drop is designed in, you can reuse your springs and spindles and that's going to save you a lot of money. So it's kinda hard to listen to. From my perspective, you can buy new spindles only, that have a 3 inch drop, and that will save you a lot of money on tubular A-arms. All good with putting new parts from the sponsors on. Just maybe don't throw the good old parts in a pile and call them junk. And don't say that the new parts are going to save us money. But why am I writing this. It's TV. I'd rather follow guys' build threads on here to be honest. I don't mean to be a damper on the enthusiasm of seeing our trucks get air time though.
