Started at page 1 and finally making it to page 85 and taking about a week to go through at work my boss will be happy that I can get back to work
Dennis your build thread is just as good as your truck build. I have been lurking around the site for some time now and was able to bookmark a lot of good info that you have provided. I know I speak for everyone when I say thanks for providing all the information that you have. Great work on the truck!
