Daay-yum....do you honestly mean to tell me it is ALREADY NOVEMBER in Canada???

If you are referring to the camera date is bass akwards ie: 11/05/05 is actually May 11, 2005. Kinda strange isn't it.

Not from a logical standpoint. That's European date format. Think about it: Yours is listed in perfect sequence from smallest to largest amount : 11/05/05 == day/month/year. Day is the smallest figure, then month, then year.

North Americans would think it looks wierd because we've been trained to write month/day/year for dates. But, I mean, why do we use that format? It's kinda dumb and doesn't make sense.

Sweet looking truck, nice job

68gmcdually · 07-04-2005, 09:11 PM

Thanks alot. I didn't realize how good it really looked until today when I drove it to work and parked it out front. Needless to say I could have sold it numerous times over for almost what I have in it.

armyavncowgirl · 07-04-2005, 11:00 PM

i love it when there is so much pride in a vehicle where you have to park it within eye sight of your work place lol. the last truck i had, before i moved to texas, i loved so much i had to look at it at least 5 times a day while i was at work lol

same goes for my 67. when i'm at work, everytime i take a smoke break i take it in the truck. if i'd taken any other vehicle to work i'd stick with the picnic table in the smoking area lol

barn9 · 07-04-2005, 11:48 PM

Nice job man! And congrats too!

krue · 07-05-2005, 12:09 AM

I've been waiting to see the completed pictures. Damn nice job you did there!

68gmcdually · 07-05-2005, 12:29 PM

Thanks for all of the compliments. I left the truck at work over night and came in this morning to a couple of nice scratches in the left rear fender. Now I know that it is one of our employees since I left the truck locked up inside our compound. Oh well, if idiots could fly, my place of employment would be an airport.
