Wow! Any more pics or a location? When I get to build a shop, that's what I want it to be like.

Re: so i was out riding and so this old gas station

NICE, I am trying to remember if there are any places like that around here. There is one place in eastern Oregon that I want to visit and photo with my truck when I get it running.

Yes it has a name, MONGO after the character in Blazing Saddles. It was given by my hunting buddies when they saw how it could go places their "new" trucks (late 80's) couldn't (or they did not want to) go. "Mongo just pawn in game of life"...

ChuckDriver,
How is your truck lowered and what is your wheel/tire/back spacing combo? The attitude of your truck is PERFEECT for my taste.

That's way cool. There just aren't enough of these places any more. I don't know of any around me.

Re: so i was out riding and so this old gas station

Thanks Dan! You can see all the info on my build if you follow the link in my Sig. But basically it's got a camaro clip with one coil cut from the springs. The rear is a single mono leaf setup under the frame rails. The front tires are 235/60x15 on a 15x8 rim and the rear are 285/60x16 on 16x10 rims. I don't remember the backspacing at the momoent, but I think it's in my thread. Thanks for asking!
