First Time to Show my Truck

Well I decided it was time to finally show my truck instead of waiting for it to be "truly done"... is it ever really done anyway? I had a great time, my family enjoyed the day and much to my surprise I won the Club Choice Award from the Sponsoring club, the Glacier Street Rod Association.

This club just recently loosened their bylaws to allow cars/trucks newer than 1957 because I guess the membership was getting pretty thin. So I was really happy and surprised when the club chose my air bagged C10 for their award. Here are a few picts, sorry no picts of other rides, I spent the day at my truck talking!

Re: First Time to Show my Truck

Thanks all for compliments!

I was way happy with all the people stopping during the show to tell me they liked my ride. A few came by after they had seen me playing with the air during the little parade before the car show line up. Many questions about how I "made it go up and down"... not too many air riders in NW Montana, lol.

I haven't been posting alot here the last few years since the truck was mostly done, but I told everyone that would listen about the community here and how much of a help this board was in motivation and solutions during my build. From assembly tips to how to paint, I could not have made it all work without my truck buddies on the internet!

Feel free to follow the link in my signature, it does take you to another website (temporarily) but shows the build from beginning to end.

That is one beautiful Truck and looks like you have all kinds of help with you. Nothing better than spending quality time with your kids and working on trucks.
