Ok, it's a shortstep, it's my favorite color, and its got my hands down favorite wheels on a classic. Lets just say i'm wearing a bib to catch all the drool. The only thing I would have done different is making it a stickshift, but we all know what opinions are like! Damn nice truck!!!!!

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. I'm really proud of the way it turned out, but I had a lot of help. My boys put a lot of effort into making this one come together. Tracey(Bagged74) is responsible for most of the bodywork, a lot of the wiring, the stereo system, and more. Steve(396SS) shot the paint and did the buffing. My youngest son, Phillip, helped a lot in the early stages with sandblasting and cleaning parts, the stuff nobody likes to do. I started this truck in August last year and set a goal of making a local show with it in July. We barely made it, but we came home with a trophy. The owners also deserve a lot of credit for giving me the freedom (not to mention the money) to do it the way I thought it should be. It's a pleasure to do something I enjoy for people who appreciate it.
