Re: It's been awhile

Nice truck and glad to see it driven. Too bad my kids moved from Gresham last year or I would have an excuse to see it in person. The lived on Cottrell Rd surrounded by a bunch of nurseries.

Re: It's been awhile

WOW!!!! That is a great looking truck. Love the color and the stance is perfect.
I've often been drawn to that color. That thing is impressive.
I'd love to see all the pics you have of it.

Re: It's been awhile

WHEW! What a beauty. Just love it. Huge congratulations on having the vision to make something that nice and the tenacity to see it through.

What is the color name and what suspension/rim & tire combos are you running? I like the stance a lot.

Now that is one sweet truck! How about some more pics and details (suspension, etc.). What side wheels & tires are you running? Excellent stance! Cheers, Jim

Re: It's been awhile

WEll, Since Rob hasn't come back - despite our collective compliemnts! and being the nosy person I am I did a search on his screen name and came up with a number of threads including this one that at least gives some details on his plans:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=381661

Heidt's IFS, 2" dropped spindles, 18's & 20's and turquiose. Check, check, check and check. Looks like he's a man that knows his own mind and follows his plan.

Rob, I'd STILL like to know what color name that is!
