The last one looks like formerly lolife99 now n2billet's truck. Digging the red/plaid interior, too.
It's all good Chris, I will probably get some billets. Not sure I'll ever have it on air. Not any time soon anyway. I'd like to upgrade the control arms, brakes and sway bars.
It's not lolife99's old truck. Very very nice though.

Thanks. Not sure if anyone keeps track of numbers but 400+ C/10 specific trucks, well that's a lot of trucks.

I can attest that's a lot of trucks In fact it might be a little too many coming from an area with very little fixed up.

It'll also make you consider draining your bank account and/or moving south.

That's a pretty cool video your son made. Wish I could have been there. Looks like it was a good turn out. I bet you both had a lot of fun on that trip.

Enjoyed the video and was glad to see the truck driven that distance. You did a great job. Liked the ending at a lake.

Thanks, it was a blast to drive. That little lake is Mountain lake, just north of Ardmore. I went fishing there about 20 years ago. I wanted to see if had changed much.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Had a blast this weekend at my first GoodGuys show in Fort Worth. It was incredible how many cars and trucks they had at this show.
Met a bunch of great people and got to talk trucks.

My wife and I got the thrill of riding in one of those 160 MPH Nascar style cars. That was super fun!
Saturday morning early


Hanging with Tim.


Sunday morning early

Back home safely after 400+ miles


Nascar experience:

That is way cool Mike, glad you had a good time. My wife and I always go to the Goodguys show in Charlotte every year and sometimes the one in Columbus. A lot of nice hot rods to look at

Very nice Mike! It looks great setting in the middle of that track. I'm sure that nascar ride was a blast too!
