Re: 198Plus build

Congrats on the purchase, Tom. I noticed it for sale the other day.

Welcome to the forum. You wouldn't happen to be from Longview, TX would you? I had a Tom Shaw work for me at my previous job and he moved out the GA area.

Re: 198Plus build

Thanks guys, no I'm originally from IL on the border of Iowa.

I have to be honest I was nervous about buying the truck just because I am afraid I'll screw it up. Alan and Ronnie have done incredible things with this truck. I have a hard time with patience but I think I'll have to learn some on this.

Thanks Alan, I know I'm going to be busy in the month of May with kids graduating, baseball, soccer, etc. (I have 5 kids) But I hope to get started soon. Just glad it made the 2 hour trip unharmed.

Patience is a virtue with any old vehicle. When you find yourself getting getting mad just walk away and come back with a clear mind. Remember to breath.

It's a big relief that Alan is just down the road from me. I'm sure I'll be giving you a call in the near future.
Thanks again Ronnie
Tom your welcome........ I hope you enjoy your new truck, I'm going to miss her

Nice color, but the bed on it is a little small. Whats the towing capacity?

Re: 198Plus build

I thought I would post some pictures on the progress of the truck. We got the windshield in and the new vent windows. I've been switching the v pulleys over to the march aluminum serpentine pulleys and we got the bed in. The wire harness is pulled through most places just need to finish that up. Brakes are just about all hooked up, put wire looms on, ran transmission cooler lines and it seems like a lot more but that's all I can think of right now.
