Awesome birthday present... It's cool to watch the father/son projects!

centsless · 08-15-2011, 09:45 PM

This one is going to be a Grandfather/Father/Son project! Dad and I have done quite a few things together, but this is the first one my son will be involved in. I think it is awesome and cannot wait to see it start going back together!

VA72C10 · 08-16-2011, 06:22 PM

Cool deal! Glad the cab is going into such a cool build! Nice meeting you!

**72 Super** · 08-16-2011, 08:36 PM

This is so cool, a son, father and grandfather project. Did you sell the blue 72 long bed truck you had?

Good luck on the build.

centsless · 08-22-2011, 06:02 PM

Saturday we spent some time working. Dad got a bunch of the holes welded up and a cab mount done!
